Kim English is just beginning a coaching career likely to be a long one.
Chances are, the first-year assistant with the Colorado Buffaloes never again will get in the middle of a play as odd as the situation he found himself in Friday night.
Colorado trailed Iowa by just six points with 4 minutes, 48 seconds remaining when CU freshman Tyler Bey missed a pair of free throws. As Bey was shooting the second one, a water bottle escaped the Buffs' bench and rolled on to the floor. English reacted instinctively and eased on to the floor to retrieve it.
