With precious little NCAA Division I experience creating even less margin for errors, the University of Hawai’i men’s basketball team will indeed be sweating the small stuff throughout this upcoming season.
Small stuff — as in details, details, details …
“It’s all in the DETAILS,” assistant coach Chris Acker said loudly, while demonstrating a proper defensive stance midway through last Saturday’s practice. “You’re not showing here (leaning to his right), you’re not showing here (leaning to his left). Your stance is steady, nice and low, balanced. Watch your line of vision.”
Attention to detail was a recurring theme throughout various sessions of the two-hour, 20-minute workout, the Warriors’ second practice of the season.
