Tennessee Vols baseball coach Tony Vitello left no doubts on Saturday evening that he's the coolest person in collegiate sports.
Vitello sat courtside for Tennessee's 67-62 win against the Auburn Tigers and he donned a Zakai Zeigler "shersey" (along with some gold Nikes).
During the post-game media session, Zeigler told reporters that he hugged Vitello after the game, before admitting that he didn't know who it was at first.
"After the game, I hugged him and I did not know it was him," said Zeigler. "Everybody was telling me it's the baseball coach and I was like I just gave him a hug, I didn't know who it was."
Zeigler was busy celebrating a big win, and Vitello didn't have a baseball uniform on, so it's understandable that the freshman point guard didn't know who it was.
I just love the fact that Zeigler was so happy after the win that he was hugging random folks in the crowd. Zeigler has quickly become a fan favorite in Knoxville thanks to his tenacity on the court and the energy he brings to the team.
