ESPN.com put together a list of 10 coaches who could really play the game of basketball. Former Cat Travis Ford was included in that list. OF Ford they say: “Fun fact: Missouri fans still know Travis Ford as “Travis the Traitor,” thanks to his defection from a talented Tigers team to Kentucky after his 1990 freshman season, when he won All-Big Eight Freshman of the Year honors. Ford went on to star at Kentucky, where he was named All-SEC First Team and became the first player in team history to make more than 100 3-pointers in a single season (101), a record that stands to this day.”
