I took my kids to OSU’s open practice on Thursday evening in GIA (more on that in a minute) to check out the mostly new basketball team and see what the turnover from last season looks like. We had an awesome time, even though most of the basketball consisted of assistant coach John Cooper looking exasperated about one of his bigs playing out of position in a drill that barely involved a basketball.
The hoops was not scintillating for the majority of the time, and head coach Mike Boynton was at an event with head coach Mike Gundy in Altus, USA, but I still made a few notes, talked to a few guys and got some superlatives from my 5- and 4-year-olds.
