East Tennessee State's Devontavius Payne and T.J. Cromer went back-to-back with half-court shots to win free spring semester tuition for a pair of students.
"I've never seen two guys hit consecutive shots like that before," ETSU coach Steve Forbes told ESPN. "Never."
Students Garrett Pack and Jeremiah Pearson missed their half-court attempts, but athletic director Richard Sander then allowed each to pick a player to take a shot. Pack chose Payne, who made his shot. It was followed by Cromer, who made his for Pearson.
"I hadn't seen Payne make one before in practice, but I've seen Cromer do it time and time again," Forbes said. "So when Payne made his, I knew Cromer was going to do it."
A few weeks ago, Kansas director of basketball operations Brennan Bechard made a half-court shot for the second straight year to earn a student $10,000 from Jayhawks coach Bill Self.
"I don't have the pockets of Bill Self," Forbes said. "I've seen his bank account, and I know mine isn't even close."
