On Saturday, the Hope College women’s basketball team played a game against Kalamazoo College in Holland, Michigan.
But it wasn’t just a normal day for the team. Instead, it was Senior Day, which was intended to honor the teammates who are in their senior year of school.
Coach Brian Morehouse wanted to do something special for his seniors — so he had them on the floor to start the game … all nine of them.
Of course, basketball is a five-on-five sport. Having nine players on the court is against the rules. That didn’t matter. Brian had all of his seniors out there to make sure they were recognized at tip-off.
The team ended up being penalized with a technical foul for the stunt, which meant they started the game down by a score of 2-0.
It ended up not mattering, as Hope College won the game in the end.
But, odds are, the players won’t remember the victory as much as they’ll remember the cool move made by Coach Morehouse, who explained that their focus “is always team first.” (MLive)
