KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas State Wildcats men’s basketball head coach Jerome Tang typically works the sidelines on a basketball court.

On Sunday, he’ll work the sidelines in a different sport.

The Kansas City Chiefs announced Thursday that Tang will serve as the drum honoree for this week’s game against the Chicago Bears at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

Tang is entering his second year as head coach of the Wildcats, who went 26-10 last season, making the Elite Eight in the NCAA Men’s basketball tournament.

He’s the second person to draw the drum honoree duties this season.

Retired former Chiefs backup quarterback Chad Henne drew the honors for the team’s season opener earlier this month against the Detroit Lions.
