Pitt basketball players freed up by Coach Stallings?

Earlier this summer, Pitt forward Jamel Artis talked a little about the differences between former coach Jamie Dixon and new coach Kevin Stallings. In a nutshell, he seemed to allude to a little more freedom and trust under Stallings.

John Harris of the Trib (who I've said before has done some fantastic basketball work and continues to do so) caught up with a few more Panthers and, surprise, they have echoed his thoughts. First up, fellow star Michael Young.

“Coach Stallings is letting me play basketball, letting me play my game,” said the 6-foot-8 Young, a Duquesne native who led Pitt in scoring and rebounding last season and had 50 points, seven rebounds and eight assists with no turnovers Monday.
