The NCAA coaches of each of the Final Four teams -- Tim Izzo (Michigan State), Bill Guthridge (North Carolina), Billy Donovan (Florida) and Dick Bennett (Wisconsin) were all sent a pair of custom-made Hush Puppies Clogs embellished with their team's logo and colors. Hush Puppies even sent a pair of these comfortable shoes to Michigan State's die-hard fan, known as Johnny Spirit, to match his green and white body paint.
