NEW YORK - Not only does second-year coach Anthony Grant have Alabama in the Final Four of the NIT, but he and two assistant coaches have fingerprints all over one of the Final Four teams in the NCAA tournament.
Grant and assistants John Brannen and Tony Pujol coached three seasons, through 2009, at Virginia Commonwealth, which stunned top-seeded Kansas on Sunday in a regional final.
"I'm really, really happy and proud of what those guys have been able to accomplish," Grant said Monday. "Coach (Shaka) Smart and his staff have done an outstanding job as well as those kids. I'm really happy for them, for what they've accomplished for VCU, for the city of Richmond and everybody associated with the program."
