Providence coach Ed Cooley ripped his pants mid-championship

For Providence coach Ed Cooley, a Gatorade sweat towel around his waist during overtime of the Big East title game against Villanova wasn't a fashion statement - though it would have probably been a useful one during the heart-stopping game.

It was an innovative way to cover up that he ripped a hole in his pants.
