Not only does Weintraub’s position as a second setter allow the Crimson to simulate more game-like situations, but it also drives his older teammates to play harder and strive for improvement.“It pushes me in practice because I see that Gil has great hands, and if I’m not pulling my side, coach can put Gil in, and he won’t miss a beat...
