One of the great perks of coaching college basketball is getting tickets to the NCAA Final Four. For three days, the host city lives and breathes college basketball – as San Antonio was lucky enough to do this year. I went for each of the eight years I was coaching. I watched Keith Smart’s game winning shot against Syracuse in New Orleans, saw Duke upset a supposedly unbeatable UNLV team in Indianapolis, and witnessed Chris Weber call a time-out his team didn’t have, also in New Orleans.
Like all of March Madness, each game in the NCAA Final Four is one-and-done.
