On the latest episode of Mocs on the Mic, host Chris Goforth and several guests relive the 2009 UTC men’s basketball appearance on the Jimmy Fallon Show 15 years ago.
Come along as we take a behind-the-scenes look with then-head coach John Shulman, former Moc Nicchaeus Doaks as well as JAy Blackman, deputy AD and Jim Horten, the SID for men’s basketball.
NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" adopted the Chattanooga Mocs as its underdog team to root for during the 2009 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Fallon stated, “So much attention is given to the same four or five teams, so people forget that all the other teams also have a story to tell. The more we learn about the Mocs the more we like them.”
Coach Shulman along with the Mocs seniors and members of the UTC Pep band and cheerleaders traveled to New York following the Mocs first round NCAA Tournament game to be on the show. During the week Dennis Haskins, “Mr. Belding” from “Saved by the Bell” popped up and the audience was outfitted with Chattanooga Mocs “Gold Rush” t-shirts.
