Finally, someone has delved a little deeper into a story I’ve often wondered about — how two 7-footers from Montana ended up playing basketball at UW-Stout.

John and Jacob Nonemacher, from Kalispell, Mont., are entering their junior seasons at the WIAC school, and all because Stout head coach Eddie Andrist (who is erroneously referred to as Eddie Frist in the story) returned his e-mail.

It’s a tall tale and an interesting one, from The Daily Inter Lake.
