Sports analyst Rex Chapman did an oopsie on live television when he paid his respects to Pete Gillen, while the head coach at the NCAA tournament pregame show is very much alive. Caught up in the March madness, the former NBA player very convincingly said: “Rest in peace Pete Gillen” while referencing a moment in basketball history 25 years ago during Saturday’s pregame show.
 
In the video, Chapman’s fellow commentators on the panel also tried a quick cover-up when the very swiftly changed moved on from the subject with one of them saying “there ya go”. Basketball fans were also quick to call out Chapman’s goof on Twitter. Among the herd was sports anchor Yianni Kourakis, who tweeted, “Oh no Rex [Chapman] thinks Pete Gillen is dead.”
