Even Amy Johnson had to like that one.

Amy is also known as Cameron Johnson's mother. She played college basketball at Kent State, where she scored a healthy 1,018 points.

During Cameron's last season at Pittsburgh, the coaching staff actively discouraged him from going to the offensive glass. That didn't matter to Amy Johnson.

"My mom will attest to this," he said with a grin. "Last year, at halftime of almost every game, I would get a text from her, and it always said, 'Go to the offensive glass!'"

Pitt coaches, for some reason, discouraged their players from checking texts at halftime for advice from their mother.
