Last night I was at the LSU vs Utah game. I had great seats, courtside, opposite of the Utah bench. During the game I got a chance to watch Teddy Valentine, Kerry Sitton, and Pat Adams up close and personal. Not that this is new information to any of you, but Mr. Valentine has a style all of his own. He does not use "textbook" mechanics, but he has no problem getting his point across to the players and coaches. Mr. Sitton on the other hand could not have been more "by the book". He did a fine job as well, but you could tell that the players and coaches were "sold" more on Teddy's calls.
A side note to that story, if anyone was watching the game you may have seen when Pat Adams called a block in the second half and ended up flat on his back (he slipped on a wet spot). The entire gym was rolling in their seats. I looked over at Teddy and noticed that he was looking away from the camera and right at us. He had his hand over his mouth so that you could not see the smirk on his face. About 10 seconds later he winks towards us and says "I really can not laugh, not too long ago I fell twice in the same game." I wanted to ask him if he ever fell in front of Bobby Knight.
