One of the last post-game press conferences that I attended when Jamie Dixon was still the head coach happened to fall on night in which former Pittsburgh Panther Damon Wilson performed well enough to be mentioned. While Dixon had praise for his guard, he also took the time to talk about how much farther he needed to go. That’s not atypical for coaches to do of freshman players, or any player for that matter.
The critique didn’t stand out to me, but Dixon’s compliment did: He mentioned that when they were recruiting Wilson, what stood out the most about him was how good of a player he was in transition, but how that’s such a small portion of the game.
