Like last month when Middle Tennessee State was playing Denver in a basketball game in the Murphy Center. He said, Let him shoot. Just keep him in front of you. The MTSU junior is by far the smallest player in the Sun Belt Conference.
Basketball is supposed to be a tall man s game.
For every Muggsy Bogues there seems to be a dozen Kareem Abdul-Jabbars. The little guy always gets picked last in a pickup game. But a quick scan of the rosters for area teams shows a few small players out there who are making a big difference. But by the end of the game, I usually get their attention with the things I can do. When I see them downing me, I use that as a motivator because I know what I can do when I step on the court.
