SALT LAKE CITY — Nick Emery, no stranger to being mocked for something he did on the basketball court, couldn’t have handled himself any better in the aftermath of an embarrassing situation that happened over the weekend.
During the Cougars’ blowout loss at Gonzaga, the BYU guard lost his balance as Zags’ guard Geno Crandall made some nifty zig-zagging moves en route to the hoop. It didn’t help that Emery stepped on a teammate’s foot.
It might not have mattered on this possession.
“How do you put your defensive player on skates?” the announcer facetiously asked.
