All-Time March Legend Ali Farokhmanesh Gets Colorado State's Head Coaching Job, Wanted His Contract To Include His Iconic Shorts
There are a list of few March legends who stand the test of time. Ali Farokhmanesh is one of them. In fact he might be the most iconic one. Steph Curry had his run to the Elite 8 with Davidson but is known for being an above average NBA player more. Guys like Jack Gohlke are too new. Dunk City was an entire team. Kemba is one of those names but he became almost too good in the NBA where it overlaps with his March run. That's why I say there are a list of few guys like Farokhmanesh. Guys who hit one shot and become synonymous with month.
Quick break to remember why:
Some of the biggest balls you'll ever see. There was no need to take that shot, except to bury Kansas. People would be screaming to waste time, let them foul you, whatever else. Nope. Just a three in their eye and move onto the Sweet 16. All that with Dan Bonner losing his mind and saying you can't be serious with that shot! It's up there for perfect March moments.
You may also notice something else and why there was a delay in him taking over Colorado State after Niko Medved left:
This hits way too close to home. Anyone who is over the age of 35 or so remembers the iconic baggy shorts look. We need to get back to that. I want this again in my life
So shout out Ali, for the minimum of bringing that shot back into our lives.
