Ernie Kent’s Washington State basketball program isn’t a democracy, but the coach will occasionally consider player input. One such occasion is an annual survey of his team the coach conducts at WSU’s retreat, held this year in the Tri-Cities.
The question: How many minutes should you play this season?
There are only 200 minutes available in a regulation college basketball game. The sum total of the Cougars’ responses was 296 minutes.
“Obviously, somebody’s going to have to scale back,” Kent quipped.
