You forgot Lawrence Frank...also a Marquette graduate (grad school) and head coach of the New Jersey Nets.

Yep Chicos, an obvious oversight on my part. Didn't mean any disrespect to LF, but #23 and #31 were two of my all-time Warrior favorites.

Indiana has three--Woodson, Thomas (for now) and Wittman. 

Lawrence Frank was a staff assistant under KO at Marquette and Tenn.  (Frank was also the student manager for The General at Indiana.)  Further, add in Judd Heathcote MSU protegees in the pros were/are Skiles, Vincent and now Boylan.  I was reminded how many NBA coaches ran through the Bucks as well, in addition to college (Rick).  Six degrees of separation but this speaks to MU's ties/connections to The League.  Great sell point for TC for recruits.

Couldn't Indiana say they have 4 (Frank being #4)?
