 //Shaler Coach Jay Barto on Nethen//: "Marquette is a great opportunity for Joe.  The college game is more suited to Joe's abilities.  Often he did not get a chance to play as physically as he would've liked in high school."

 Coach [[Kevin O'Neill]] was quoted as saying: " Joe has a good shooting touch up to about 15 feet and he is primarily a crasher and rebounder. He's the kind of banger we need on the boards. His all-out effort on the floor will be good for us if he can control his emotions. He will have to do a good job for us defensively inside. Joe will be battling for a starting spot right down to the end." \\

 ===== Personal =====
-     **Joseph (Joey) Nethen Jr. enjoys somewhat of a fan "cult following", during his career and now, due to his colorful, candid, unconventional personality, on and off the court, and his passionate "entertaining" character on the court (quoted as saying: (he) "loved to entertain". He rocked the typically preppy Catholic campus with his "punk rocker" appearance, donning ever-present mohawk and combat boots. He is the subject of many "MU Campus legends".
+"Joey" "Nater" Nethen earned somewhat of a personal "cult" following of fans, endeared by his punky appearance and tastes in music, at one time sporting a Mohawk, and ever-present combat boots.In the mid to late 80's, MU still had the reputation as being a traditionally "preppy", conservative, Catholic campus. In Nethen's own words, "(I) loved to "entertain" on the court". His bombastic personality on the court, and "bad boy" antics and outlandish fashions off the court, are the stuff of many hilarious (and some disturbing) MU campus "legends".
-**Nethen lives and works in the Milwaukee area,with his "soulmate", Linda, equally unconventional, a local artist/jewelry-maker, published poet and writer, and Master-degreed psychotherapist/art therapist (UW-Milwaukee and Mount Mary College),and has two sons from a previous marriage. He enjoys time spent with family and friends, coaching kid's basketball, hunting, guns, riding his motorcycle, and sports. \\
+Nethen has two sons.
