Justin Minaya walked in a tight circle beyond the right wing, staying within earshot of Frank Martin’s fury. A freshman college basketball player had just lived up to his title – and a veteran coach wasn’t hesitating to let him know.
“I wasn’t happy with him,” Martin said.
The scene played out last Saturday at Colonial Life Arena. The clock was stopped with 1.6 seconds left in the first half to allow Texas Tech’s Keenan Evans to attempt three free throws. South Carolina’s Minaya was hearing it from Martin because he was the reason Evans had such an opportunity.
