Below is from the University website. This is a prime example of why I still like Corch BarBar. I may be wrong or just never heard of Lebo doing stuff like this, but Barbee has been very active in trying to promote this program and get people excited about it. I think the guy is a good coach and love the style of play. They look like they have a plan every time down court on both offense and defense...as opposed to looking for the first available 3. He just needs to get the athletes in there. But that's a big part of his job too. We shall see. Anywho....
