INFINITI and NCAA Present Coaches vs. Cancer® Hardwood Heroes Charity Basketball Game

HOUSTON, TX – On April 1 at 10:55 a.m., two teams of cancer survivors will play on the same floor as Final Four participants at NRG Stadium to raise awareness in the fight to end cancer. The game, open to both the media and the public, is a new event resulting from INFINITI's long-standing partnership with Coaches vs. Cancer®, the American Cancer Society, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), the NCAA and CBS/Turner. Now in its sixth year, INFINITI has pledged to make donations to Coaches vs. Cancer totaling $700,000 through its Round by Round brackets on CBSSports.com/infiniti. The "Hardwood Heroes" teams are led by four coaches, each with impressive winning backgrounds as coaches and players in the NCAA. Team Penders is led by Coach Tom Penders, former University of Houston head coach, and assistant coach Doug Gottlieb, former point guard at Oklahoma State. Team Harrick head coach Jim Harrick lead UCLA to its 1995 Championship, and assistant coach TJ Ford is an eight-year NBA veteran and was the first freshman in NCAA history to lead the nation in assists.
