UPUI coach Ron Hunter reacts to a play while coaching barefoot as his team played Oakland University in a college basketball game in Indianapolis, Thursday, Jan. 24, 2008.
Hunters lack of foot wear is to raise awareness for needy children. His goal is to send 40,000 pairs of shoes to Africa in honor of the 40th anniversary of the death of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
However, coach Hunter got two technical fouls and was later ejected when he kept telling the refs to smell his feet after every bad call.
"The refs stinked like my left foot," said an angry Coach Hunter.
Phoenix Suns' Amare Stoudamire heard about this and decided to donate 40,000 bins to the cause. "Hey, they need bins to put the shoes away, you know me anything for the kids," said Amare.
Nike stock tumbled to $57.41 after the game.
