Collison Nearly Coaches Team to $2 Million Tournament Title

Whenever Pacers guard Darren Collison decides to retire from the NBA, he might have his next career move already planned out.

Acting as head coach, Collison shepherded Team Challenge ALS to a runner-up finish in The Basketball Tournament, an open-application, single-elimination tournament featuring 64 teams competing for a $2 million grand prize.

The tournament always features a number of former NBA players and college stars and this year's edition was no exception.

Collison tried his hand at coaching this year, leading his team on a Cinderella run to the championship game. They ultimately came up just short, falling 86-83 to Overseas Elite, who has now won the tournament three straight years.
