"“I actually liked the fact that the media and the fans were engaged and that we had become relevant enough that there are actually expectations,” Lavin said Sunday. “We wanted to get the program to a level where people wanted us to win and they’d be salty when we didn’t. To me, it was a sign that we were a healthy program, that we had vitality.”"
"The first is 60, which is the name of a daily practice drill passed down from the special assistant Gene Keady, who inherited it from Eddie Sutton, who learned it from Hank Iba — a ball-control and passing exercise that rewards sound decisions and fundamentals. A point is awarded for each successful pass, 5 points for a layup, 5 points for every foul. There is no dribbling. First team to 60 points wins.
And the losing team runs 17s: sprints the width of the court, back-and-forth, 17 times in no more than 1 minute 2 seconds. If even one player fails to finish in time, the pattern is repeated, as many times as it takes to beat the clock.
“We’re in shape,” the senior guard D’Angelo Harrison said last week, with a wink."
