The roster was split up and former Mountaineer players Juwan Staten and Gary Browne were on hand to coach the two teams during a 30-minute officiated scrimmage witnessed by an estimated 5,000 spectators that included about 100 high school and junior high coaches on campus taking part in Bob Huggins’ annual coaching clinic.
The Gold team, coached by Browne, defeated the Staten-led Blue team 46-24, with 30 of the 46 points coming from Elijah Macon, Daxter Miles Jr. and Tarik Phillip.
Afterward, Huggins was very complimentary of the way Macon, a 6-foot-9-inch, 235-pound sophomore forward, has been playing so far during the preseason.
