COMMENTARY
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Flash some locker room chain-of-command, Jevon Carter butted in on Lamont West’s interview because West’s butt was in the wrong place.
“You’re in my seat,” Carter blurted. “You see whose locker that is? I need my seat.”
The freshman West stopped cold, mid-answer, and promptly relocated to a corner chair beside the mini-fridge.
During a season becoming more memorable with every shot, Carter has grown accustomed to directing his West Virginia teammates, and they have grown used to listening.
On the eve of facing top-seeded Gonzaga in the Sweet 16, no Mountaineer looms more essential to keeping the season alive.
