Why this works: See, he's the older authority figure but yet, look at this, he's doing something you'd normally expect one of his young players to do, not an older authority figure!

Dayton president Dan Curran crowd surfs after Syracuse upsetDayton president Dan Curran crowd surfs after Syracuse upset
That was fun, but Dayton ended up outdoing them on Saturday when university president Dan Curran actually joined in on the on-campus festivities. At one point cameras caught him briefly crowd-surfing among the revelry, complete with "Dr. Dan" chants, after the No. 11 Dayton Flyers upset No. 3 Syracuse 55-52 in the Round of 32 to reach the sweet 16.That was fun, but Dayton ended up outdoing them on Saturday when university president Dan Curran actually joined in on the on-campus festivities.

Iowa State breaks down North Carolina, Fred Hoiberg just breaks downIowa State breaks down North Carolina, Fred Hoiberg just breaks down
No. 3 Iowa State beat out No. 6 North Carolina 85-83 on Sunday night, something which gave Iowa State plenty to celebrate despite the game's somewhat anticlimactic ending (no truly entertaining game should end with a conference between officials and a clock operator). Following the victory, Cyclones head coach Fred "The Mayor" Hoiberg took out his smart down and attempted dance-like motions in front of his players. Then he promptly apologized to his daughter.No. 3 Iowa State beat out No. 6 North Carolina 85-83 on Sunday night, something which gave Iowa State plenty to celebrate despite the game's somewhat anticlimactic ending (no truly entertaining game should end with a conference between officials and a clock operator).

Mercer brings out the Nae Nae DanceMercer brings out the Nae Nae Dance
Following their first round upset over No. 3 Duke, the 14th-seeded Mercer Bears did the Nae Nae. There is literally no wrong way to celebrate your team putting together a 78-71 victory to knock the Blue Devils out of the tournament in the first found, but this might be the "most right" way.
