BIMBO COLES<br />
TECH ALL-TIME GREAT<br />
After dazzling Virginia Tech fans for four years, guard Bimbo Coles became<br />
the second Tech men’s basketball player to have his jersey retired when the<br />
university honored him in a ceremony prior to his last home game on March 3,<br />
1990. Coles finished his collegiate career as the leading all-time scorer in school<br />
and Metro Conference history and also set an all-time scoring mark for Division<br />
I players in the state of Virginia. He scored a total of 2,484 points during his four<br />
seasons and became the first player in Metro Conference history to lead the<br />
league in scoring three consecutive years. Coles burst on the national scene<br />
when he made the United States Olympic team in 1988. He played a leading<br />
role at point guard for that team, which won the bronze medal in Seoul, Korea.<br />
Coles was a second-round pick of the Sacramento Kings in the 1990 NBA draft.<br />
Coles has played with a number of NBA teams. He rejoined the Miami Heat for<br />
the 2003-04 NBA season and retired the following off-season. He currently is an<br />
assistant coach and advance scout with the 2006 NBA Champion Miami Heat.<br />
Bimbo Coles (seen above against Michael Jordan)<br />
was Virginia Tech’s first Olympian.<br />
