20 Northwestern head coach Chris Collins added another twist to the story. He nearly picked Iowa out of high school, until taking a late offer from Duke. When Collins made his recruiting visit to Iowa, Street was his host and the two hit it off. Collins also played in the game when Street set the Iowa record "Hearing that make me feel good, because I know what a special guy Chris was," Collins said when told Bohannon had missed the free throw on purpose. "So that was a pretty cool thing. Bravo to Jordan for doing that." e Bohannon-Street free throw moment reminded of a story involving another great Iowa star who died in the prime of his life, Nile Kinnick Kevonte Martin-Manley returned two punts for Iowa touchdowns in a Sept. 21, 2013, football game against Western Michigan, and had chalked up 184 return yards by halime. He needed just 18 yards to erase Kinnick's school record of 201 yards against Indiana on his way to the 1939 Heisman Trophy But Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz took care of that. He didn't let Martin-Manley return any more punts to make sure Kinnick remained the record holder "With all due respect to Kevonte, I think it's OK if that one stayed right where it's at," Ferentz said aer the game So what will Bohannon do if he gets a chance to set the record later in his career? "I can always have a second chance at it, there's still a lot of basketball le," Jordan said. "So we'll see." Mike Street has some advice for Bohannon "anks Jordan, but by golly, the next time you get up there, just go on," Mike said. "We've had our time with it. Let (Jordan) have his time because I don't know who else I would want to break it."
