I grew up learning the game of basketball from a Texas Texas basketball legend, Bubba Jennings. As a kid in Artesia, New Mexico, I spent just about every summer at Coach Jennings’ camps and playing pickup games under his watchful eye at the high school gym.
He was my coach all the way through high school and my senior season was the year before he took the Coronado job. That information is pertinent because it means I’ve heard about Texas Tech basketball for most of my life.
Of course, as a kid, I didn’t really understand what it meant when he would show us the one-one-one move that he used to beat Clyde Drexler off the dribble.
