August 15th, 2017 - 7:39
There have been mixed reviews of Big3 on FoxSports1. Perhaps they could supplement competition with the following Final Four version of active NCAA Division I head coaches in sets of three who played on same college team:
- Three current power-league coaches - Tad Boyle (Colorado), Danny Manning (Wake Forest) and Mark Turgeon (Maryland) - were teammates at Kansas under Larry Brown in 1984-85.
- Cuonzo Martin (Missouri), Matt Painter (Purdue) and Linc Darner (Green Bay) were teammates at Purdue under Gene Keady in 1991-92 and 1992-93.
- Mike Brennan (American), Sydney Johnson (Fairfield) and Chris Mooney (Richmond) accounted for three of Princeton's top five scorers under Pete Carril in 1993-94.
- Allen Edwards (Wyoming), Scott Padgett (Samford) and Mark Pope (Utah Valley) were teammates at Kentucky under Rick Pitino in 1994-95 or Edwards, Padgett and Steve Masiello (Manhattan) at UK under Pitino in 1996-97.
