NBC Coach Doug Collins to Join FEHERTY on Golf Channel, 8/1

former Olympian, first overall pick in the draft, and a journeyman head coach in the NBA, Current TV analyst Doug Collins joins FEHERTY to reflect on a life and career in basketball, Monday, August 1 at 9 p.m. ET on Golf Channel. FEHERTY - the Emmy-nominated Sports TV personality - meanwhile is set to return to late night television this evening, where he'll be a guest on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," on NBC at 11:30 p.m. ET. FEHERTY will join other guests appearing tonight, actor Matt Damon and musical guest Sturgill Simpson.

Among topics discussed over the course of the interview, Collins recounts having been on the losing end of the controversial 1972 Munich Summer Olympics gold medal game between the United States and the Soviet Union. Collins made two free throws in the final minute of the game to give the United States a one point lead. When officials BOTCHED the game clock in the closing seconds to give the Soviets two chances to take the lead, they converted a layup attempt that resulted in a one point win and the first-ever Olympic loss for the United States basketball team. In speaking with Feherty, Collins reflects on the decision that he and his teammates made at the time to refuse to accept their silver medals in protest of the game's contentious outcome. Other topics discussed include:

Episode guests on FEHERTY scheduled for later this year include 26-time Emmy Award-winning NBC Sports personality and Olympic host Bob Costas; Pro Football Hall-of-Famers Terry Bradshaw, Cris Carter and Emmitt Smith; legendary baseball play-by-play voice Bob Uecker; and 2014 European-winning Ryder Cup team captain Paul McGinley.

Described as "the last unscripted man on TV," by Men's Journal and as "golf's wisecracking, maverick interviewer" by Esquire, FEHERTY has made a name for himself not only through his self-titled Golf Channel talk show, but as one of the most irrepressible personalities calling golf over the past two decades. A native of Northern Ireland and a former professional golfer who claimed 10 worldwide victories and a spot on the 1991 European Ryder Cup Team, FEHERTY is now a proud American citizen who has risen above a history of alcoholism and addiction to become an Emmy-nominated television host, New York Times best-selling author and comedic relief for thousands of men and women in uniform.
