There's no debate: Gonzaga's new assistant is now the second-most famous Ken Bone

Like nearly 67 million other Americans, Ken Bone was watching Sunday evening’s Presidential Debate when he suddenly became the nation’s second-most famous Ken Bone.

“It’s kind of messed up my last couple days,” Bone told Sporting News with a chuckle. “All of a sudden he pops up, and his name flashes up there and shortly thereafter the text started coming in, one after the other.”

Our Ken Bone, the one who was kinda well known before the debate, coached college basketball at Portland State and Washington State from 2005 to 2014. He led Portland State to the NCAA Tournament twice, in 2008 and 2009, then took the Washington State job vacated when Tony Bennett left for Virginia.
