Samford men's basketball coach Jimmy Tillette was admitted to a hospital after collapsing during the second half of the Bulldogs' 70-67 victory over North Carolina-Greensboro on Saturday.
Samford assistant sports information director Zac Schrieber said the 59-year-old Tillette is awake and responsive after he was taken to Moses Cone Hospital, where he will undergo tests.
Schrieber said Tillette ``froze up and fell down on the bench and then to the floor'' before trainers rushed to him to begin treatment. Tillette was taken to a training room until an ambulance arrived.
