Auburn head basketball coach Bruce Pearl inadvertently smacked the heck out of his sophomore point guard, Jared Harper on Saturday.
Pearl was locked into sending signals to his players on the court when Harper pulled up behind him to check into the game. Then, out of nowhere…WHAM!

Clearly this was totally accidental, but it was also pretty funny. Thankfully, Harper was no worse for the wear. He ended up scoring 11 points and dishing eight assists in the team’s dominant 95-70 win over LSU.
