MikeCheck: Summer School for Grizz players, coaches shifts to Vegas after passing initial Salt Lake City tests

SALT LAKE CITY – Grizzlies assistant coach Greg Buckner broke up the scrimmage session, stood between Wayne Selden and Kobi Simmons beneath the basket and shouted a question - at first, to no one in particular.

“What am I always saying about this situation?” Buckner blurted during a game-day shootaround at the University of Utah’s practice facility. “Wayne, it begins with an ‘L.’”

Seeking confirmation of the correct defensive term for when the Grizzlies shift their defense to strongside coverage, Buckner then turned to Simmons.

"Kobi, you've heard me say it a hundred times, so you should know," Buckner continued.
