2001: Hampton coach gets a lift

Tarvis Williams' jumper in the final seconds gave Hampton a 58-57 win against Iowa State, making the Pirates only the fourth No. 15 seed to defeat the No. 2 seed. Coach Steve Merfeld was lifted up from behind by Hampton's David Johnson as the coach pumped his fists and kicked his legs in the air.
