He also said we'll probably see him call more timeouts, not for strategy necessarily, but to give the players a rest.

He also wants to give Andre Ferguson more playing time so "that he'll have some confidence heading into WCC play," and with the great develop of Joseph Smoyer since summer, he'd like to see him get more court time in the games ahead.

When discussing the Wooden Legacy, he mentioned that Alec was the leading point scorer of the tournament (80 points), underscoring what up7587 wrote:

Too bad they voted the all-tournament team before the final game.

and Jazz was the second leading scorer (68).

Also too bad the WCC gave the conference Player of the Week honor to Williams-Goss from GU. Who decides those awards, anyway? SMC, BYU and GU players received the awards for weeks 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Shocking.
