Stiffs Exclusive: How Will Barton and Bones Hyland went from friends, to teammates, to coaches

“The bond never changes even though we’re on opposite sides now. He’s still a big brother to me.”

Bones Hyland and Will Barton have built a bond that will last forever, and even though they are on opposite sides of the court now, last week at the Under Armour Elite 24 tournament they got to share the same bench one more time, this time as coaches.

The Under Armour Elite 24 hosts the top 24 high school basketball players at an event in Chicago allowing them to showcase their skills in front of talent evaluators and even NBA players like Hyland and Barton.
