When the Loyola Chicago Ramblers miss a shot, Porter Moser applauds. Not all the time, but most of the time.
And when Moser applauds a miss, so do his assistant coaches and the players on the bench. He starts a chain reaction of seemingly incongruous positive reinforcement.
This is a small snapshot of the Loyola mindset: good shots should be recognized and supported, whether they go in or miss. The goal is to have a possession that generates a makable shot, with that process more important than the result. If you miss a good one, don’t worry about it; just keep playing.
