Coaches sometimes go to great lengths to schedule games for their players back in front of hometown friends and family

In college basketball, they're sometimes called "homecoming games," and many coaches believe in them. At BYU, for instance, head coach Dave Rose tries to set up a game in the home area of every one of his players during his time at the school, to give him a chance to play in front of friends and family. And Rose isn't alone. Coaches go to great lengths, all over the country, to allow their players one last game in front of a home crowd.
