The walk-on guard from Arts & Sciences has played in critical moments in recent UTC games.
Dontay Hampton has shed his nickname.
“You can’t call him ‘Li’l Tay’ anymore,” University of Tennessee at Chattanooga basketball coach John Shulman said as the shortest player on the roster walked past him on the way to warmups Tuesday.
UTC players have yet to come up with another nickname for the sophomore walk-on guard from Arts & Sciences. Just “Dontay” will have to work for now.
But the Mocs surely will come up with something creative as Hampton’s minutes and contributions increase down the stretch of the Southern Conference season.
