It's not the first time Connor Basye has answered the call.
Back in 2015, after his senior season with the Bloomington North basketball team was done, former Cougar head coach Andy Hodson called Basye at 11:30 the night before the Hoosier Basketball Coaches ****** ociation All-Star game was to be held at the Cougar Den. Hodson wondered if he'd like to fill a spot on a roster after another player couldn't make it.
"It was awesome," Basye said at the time. "Even better since we got the win."
