Jeff Foote on Deadspin

I'll change this to "Non-hockey alumni in the Pros" later so that we have a catch-all for the topic, but for now, see if you can find Jeff Foote in this highlight of his D League team's win.

Though not a Cornell alumni, certainly related to Cornell: The Washington Wizards fired coach Flip Saunders today and promoted Randy Whitman as their interim head coach.

Yeah congrats to Foote, hopefully he can make the most of the opportunity, maybe we will have Footesanity now

Not bad for a kid who couldn't get on the court at Bona.  Congrats to Jeff.

I hope he gets to take off his warm-up pants.

I hope he gets to take off his warm-up pants.

On a team as bad as the Hornets its a distinct possibility.

The last Cornellian in the NBA played for the Atlanta Hawks... three cities ago, when they were the Tri-Cities Blackhawks.
