Just a quick story that I found kind of cool. Last night, #1 Tennessee went on the road and beat Illinois with a last second shot.
Tennessee's soon-to-be Hall of Fame coach, Rick Barnes, was an assistant coach at George Mason in 1980. To help recruiting, they decided to do a newsletter called "Coaches Corner".
For the first newletter, they went to area coaches and asked them to give them their favorite play. Coach Barnes went to DeMatha Catholic High School to talk to the legendary Morgan Wooten, who was named the Naismith Scholastic Coach of the Century in 2000.
Last night, with the game tied and 6 seconds left on the clock, Barnes called Wooten's play. It worked, and Tennessee won on that last second shot.
