It’s a Friday afternoon in January at Moody Coliseum and SMU is preparing to play Memphis. SMU head coach Larry Brown is running his team through plays. He has the team run a particular play that is designed to get a layup by finding a player cutting to the basket.
The team runs it the first time, not to Brown’s standards. He gathers the team around the free throw line, telling the players how to run it properly. The huddle breaks with Brown’s instruction to run it again. As it’s breaking, Nic Moore chimes in.
“Little things, little things,” he says, urging his teammates.
