He coached in the NBA with the Brooklyn Nets organization," Jon Babul said.Mike Babul finally landed at Thayer Academy, leading the school's boys' basketball team to a 13-win season last year, and was in the middle of a 5-1 season before his untimely death."He gave too much," Jon Babul said. "He didn't rest." A close friend of the Babul brothers, John Case, says the three were like triplets. "We been friends since 14 years old and lived down the street," Case said.
