A great start is not only enjoyable, but brings with it room for error and experimentation.
Not long ago, when Arizona was in Tempe playing the Sun Devils, the Wildcats followed an excellent first half by beginning the second looking like a team that was introduced to the sport of basketball that very day.
Turnover after turnover, missed shot after missed shot, it wasn’t long before 17-point lead was whittled down to two.
Of note during that run, however, was that Tommy Lloyd did not call a timeout to calm his team or, as would have been justified, tear into them.
