MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – This spring, Neal Brown is searching for his very own James Harden.
No, Brown is not doing a coach-swap with Bob Huggins. He’s looking for a starting quarterback. And minus the bushy beard and ability to draw phantom foul calls, the NBA star embodies precisely what Brown is searching for at quarterback.
To Brown, a successful quarterback is not just a guy who can throw the ball. It’s a guy who can keep a play alive, no matter how, when things have fallen apart around him. And for a native Kentuckian, the best way to illustrate that is with a basketball analogy.
