Coleman's electrifying three-point throw in his quarterfinal win over Iran's Mehdi Chooli Zeidvand at last week's Junior World Championships has caught the attention of the mainstream media.
Coleman's "flying squirrel" has been the No. 1 play on ESPN SportsCenter's Best of the Best the past two days. You can continue to vote for Coleman on the link provided above.
He was a guest on ESPN's First Take on Tuesday morning, where the video of his move was shown numerous times.
The move also has been featured on Yahoo.com's main page this week. The USA Wrestling video of the full match has been watched over 16,000 times, while the initial video posted by a YouTube user has been watched nearly 4 million times already. The video also was featured on AOL.com.
