Ep. 25: Tom Pritchard

Published: June 14, 2016, 10 p.m.

On this week\u2019s episode of the Vigilant Sports Pacers Podcast, I\u2019m joined by a familiar name in Central Indiana Sports: Tom Pritchard.\nPritchard played basketball at Indiana University\xa0from 2008-12. He was not only part of that special\xa0game where IU knocked off No. 1 and previously unbeaten Kentucky at Assembly Hall, but he was also one of the original recruits in 2008\xa0who remained committed despite a coaching change.\nOh, and his put-back jam on Minnesota is one for the highlight reel.\nAfter\xa0playing in Bloomington,\xa0Pritchard joined the Pacers in the consumer sales department. In May, after three years of ticket sales, he made the decision to leave that job to\xa0pursue a job back on the court \u2026 in coaching.\nExcited to begin a new journey to pursue my dream job in college coaching! Looking forward to getting on the court coaching Summer camps.\u2014 Tom Pritchard (@CoachTPritchard) May 11, 2016\nSubscribe to the Pacers Podcast\xa0on iTunes.
