“We have a belt that we give out after wins,” Coach Cal said after the game. “The most impactful players. Who impacted the game? The staff gets it and it’s a big shiny belt. Maybe they’ll show you. He got it today. He’s the most impactful. Not because of points and rebounds but because of what you said. He had five assists, three steals, and two blocks. That’s impacting the game. He’ll have the belt until the next win. No belts on a loss.”
