I'm not one to blow smoke at my players. They kicked our butts on the offensive boards. And it's not just because the ball came their way.
sports player mtv
We changed our rules. If a player does not have some sot of altercation on or off the court once each month, we fine him...The guys that are our top four scorers, each of them will be required once every two months to appear on MTV. The guys who shoot the worst free throws over a one-month period, next time we have a TV game they're required to look into the camera and beat their chests after they make a good play.
