ESPN AND Infiniti announced today that VCU Coach Shaka Smart is one of the four coaches to make it to the finals of this year’s Coaches Charity Challenge. Coach Smart lead the East Region from wire to wire, competing against and defeating big time basketball names as Bob Huggins of West Virginia, Jim Boeheim of Syracuse, and Mike Krzyzewski of Duke. He also held off the coaches of conference rivals Temple, Xavier and St. Joseph’s. The “final Four” coaches include: Frank Haith of Missouri, Johnny Dawkins of Stanford and last-year’s winner Thad Matta of Ohio State.
