As a Head Coach, I am always trying to find a competitive advantage for our programme. I was fortunate to meet Alex a few years ago and was drawn to his progressive methods. These differ greatly to dominant approaches within basketball, providing our team with a unique advantage within the NCAA.
I frequently challenge our staff to provide new ideas and suggestions that are accompanied by evidence, rather than anecdotal experience. This was one of the reasons I was instantly drawn to Alex's concepts. By using an evidence base to inform the ideas we adopt at Mizzou, it places our team in a strong position.
