Georgia State men's basketball coach Ron Hunter injured himself while celebrating his team's NCAA tournament birth after winning Sunday's Sun Belt Conference championship game over Georgia Southern.
Hunter was in the midst of his players jumping up and down when the injury occurred, and he needed assistance walking off the court:
Later, it was discovered that Hunter tore his Achilles:
Despite the severity of the injury, something tells us Hunter will find a way to be on the sidelines for the next game.
Interesting side note: Georgia State is led by Kevin Ware, the transfer from Louisville who suffered the horrific leg injury in the NCAA Tournament two years ago during Louisville's run to the National Championship.
