    Isn't it cool to see your coach talk about offense and defensive schemes, player load, conditioning, etc. Sure beats, "I love my team", "We're still trying to figure it out", "We're built for March".

    Love the detail Mark gets into in how and why things work the way they do. He knows we’re a bunch of basketball geeks and these little details are what we love about the game. I know he may not always be in the mood to deliver that level of insight but when he does it sure is nice to learn.

    It is so refreshing to have a coach who knows the details of the game and can break it down. Today I learned that thrust was important. The next press conference I expect to learn more. This man is a pleasure to listen to. As a UK fan, I am having fun again.

    Great comments from Coach about Jaxon. He really did play a good game. His +/- was +6 which was top 5 for the team. And if his defensive assignments only had 2 pts, it sounds like he and his assignments both took the other out of the game offensively. That's fine when we have so many options. There are a lot of important roles in a game besides just scoring.

    Seems like Pope is right about Malachi Moreno. I was behind Gov Breshear at the Wright State game and Malachi just came up and introduced himself to the governor and talked for a bit. Not many high school kids are going to want to do that or have the confidence to do that.
