Darren Collison has always played the role of “coach on the court” while playing point guard during his NBA career, which he will resume with the Pacers next month. Over the past couple of weeks, Collision was the coach on the sidelines fore Team Challenge ALS as they made a big run through The Basketball Tournament, a winner-take-all tournament with a $2 million on the line that is both intense and tons of fun to watch.
Collison's long-time friend and former Boston College player, Sean Murphy asked DC to coach after assembling a team made up primarily of SoCal players in an effort to honor is former BC roommate Peter Frates who has ALS.
