The Texas Tech Red Raiders missed so many layups yesterday that head coach Pat Knight decided to pull a 12 year old from the stands to make a point with his team. The point? That a 12 year old can make layups.
“I was just tired of having 18- or 21-year-olds miss layups that a 12-year-old could hit, so I brought a 12-year-old in to let them know that he could hit layups,” Knight said. “He’s 12 and he can hit layups, so why can’t you when you’re 18 to 21?”
It worked as the Red Raiders went on to win. Maybe UConn Huskies women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma should try this with Tina Charles.
