[QUOTE="SuperintendentChalmers, post: 1870350, member: 535862"] I remember Lou Henson sitting in for a few minutes on a BTN broadcast where Jimmy Jackson was the analyst. Jimmy asked, "Coach, the dark background and tight rims always made it a pain to shoot here. Was that intentional." Lou chuckled and said, "Aw, we had to do anything we could to stop a great scorer like Jimmy Jackson." Another thing that messed with opponents occasionally was our odd reluctance to put a shot clock over the basket, instead having it on a scoreboard off to the side. [/QUOTE]
