Joe Dooley woke up from a deep slumber at 2 a.m., Friday, his hamstring muscles tight in response to his playing 20 minutes in a Bill Self fantasy procamp basketball game Thursday afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse.
Dooley, 51, is the Florida Gulf Coast head coach and a former Kansas assistant. He is back in town to serve as one of the head coaches at the three-day, six-team tournament for men age 35 and up. Dooley, with his sore hamstrings, decided to recruit 36-year-old KU assistant/former Illinois guard Jerrance Howard to take his place at the starting combo guard spot for his Team Chalmers squad.
