College Basketball Question

Gwreck Jan 17 2011 11:54 PM

I have some vague recollection of a college basketball story I once read about a coach whose tradition it was to start all of his senior players on senior night, yet one year he had six seniors, so he "started" them all, resulting in a technical foul at the start of the game for having 6 players on the court. I've tried googling about as many different permutations of the various key words that I can think of but can't find this. I assumed this was some famous coach's (Smith, Krzyzewski, Knight, etc.) tradition but maybe not. Did I dream this? Or does someone who knows college basketball history better than me know who this person was? Many thanks.

Never heard that.

Finally found it. Coach was Jerry Tarkanian; team was 1991 UNLV Rebels. February 23, 1991 game vs. UC-Irvine. Story here and here for those so inclined.
