Trojans getting jump on slip-ups

Twin plyometric boxes tower courtside in the practice gymnasium at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, infamously responsible for the elimination of the Trojans' men's basketball team's on-court mistakes.

Nearly 4-feet tall, the boxes have the words "Accountability Builds Champions" boldly emblazoned on each side, and they rule like the tower of law in ancient Babylon.

It's the code of Wes Flanigan, who dragged the boxes out after the Trojans went 15-17 in his first season as head coach.

"We let some things slip that are a part of the process of winning games," Flanigan said Thursday at UALR's media day.
