KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee coach Rick Barnes' new surroundings have the veteran coach adopting a slightly different approach in preseason practices.
Barnes has needed to do more teaching so far as he goes over the different drills that had become second nature to his players at Texas, where he had coached for the last 17 seasons. Tennessee started practice last week as the Volunteers adjust to their third coach in as many seasons.
''We'd been 17 years where we had certain core basic drills that we knew, the players knew (and) we just called them out,'' Barnes said Tuesday.
