FIU first-year men’s basketball coach Jeremy Ballard found himself sitting at a desk in the middle of an outside basketball court this past Thursday night.
Ballard was judging two dunk contests, one for FIU players and another for fans/students.
“I think I was pretty lenient,” Ballard joked when asked about his dunk scores. “If I were a professor, everyone would be signing up for my class.”
Thursday’s occasion was FIU Hoopla, the first of what the school’s men’s and women’s basketball teams hope becomes an annual and free party just before the start of their seasons.
