Colorado head coach Tad Boyle gave the new guy the credit for the practice drill that helped set the this week for the Buffaloes' 91-72 win Thursday night against Stanford.

The exercise was a new one for the Buffs, and the brainchild of first-year assistant Bill Grier.
"Bill Grier has brought a lot of nice ideas to our staff," Boyle said. "What's nice about coach is when things are tough or if things aren't going well, which has happened this year, he's always got a thought.
