JACKSONVILLE, FL – MARCH 19: Head coach Ron Hunter of the Georgia State Panthers coaches from a chair during the second round of the 2015 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament at Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena on March 19, 2015 in Jacksonville, Florida.

You might not see a March Madness buzzer beater ever again where the coach’s son makes a game winning three pointer that sends said father off his stool to the floor in jubilation .  14 seed Georgia State came back from a 12 point deficit with just under 3 minutes to go to defeat Baylor 57-56.  R.J. Hunter hit the winning three.  Pay close attention to dad Ron in the background.  The elder Hunter was coaching from a stool after shredding his achilles in the celebration of winning the Sun Belt title.  Credit to Andrew Catalon for a great call as well.

How awesome is that?  My guess is Ron Hunter would gladly sacrifce another couple body parts if the Panthers keep rolling through March.
