Abilene Christian coach will make NCAA Tournament debut with torn pants
Some of the small conference teams that come to the NCAA Tournament bring amazing and hilarious stories with them. Abilene Christian coach Joe Golding certainly has the latter.
Golding ripped his pants celebrating after Abilene Christian clinched their automatic bid to the tournament. Normally, that’s only an embarrassing problem once, but the coach doesn’t have a second suit with him, meaning he’s just going to deal with the hole in his pants while coaching his team against second-seeded Kentucky.
“I’m gonna have a hole in my butt. It is what it is, man.”

Sometimes, guys get a little excited celebrating their tournament bids, and it can have ramifications into the tournament itself. Golding is only the latest. He’ll probably take the trade-off.
