Here at The CT Sports, we follow VCU athletics like it’s our job. (Oh wait, it is).

Anyways, as members of those on the VCU men’s basketball beat, we’d like to think we know a deal amount the team’s third-year head coach, Shaka Smart. However, we didn’t have a flipping clue before last night’s 61-49 victory over Hofstra that Coach was such a big fan of rapper Jay-Z’s music label, Rocafella Records, that he would throw up the music label’s hand signal– The Roc– right in the midst of an offensive possession for his team.

Okay, okay: There’s a high chance he’s calling a play of some sort in actuality, rather than signaling his show of support to a rap label in the middle of a basketball game.

However, a brother can hope. Can’t he?
