KBS: Yes.
We’re still in the process of getting feedback but we know what we’re going to do as far as coming back. That’s more for how to get better and improve on what they’re looking for as far as the next level.
TCP: WHAT DID YOU THINK OF KEION’S FRESHMAN SEASON AT KENTUCKY?
KBS: I thought he grew big time in a lot of different ways. I thought he became better conditioned physically and learned how to play at a higher level than he’s ever played before.
TCP: KEION WAS USED TO BEING “THE GUY,” WAS IT DIFFICULT WATCHING HIS MINUTES GO UP AND DOWN?
KBS: A little bit. Some of it was just unfamiliar territory but that’s why we went to Kentucky. We didn’t want him to be comfortable. We wanted him to learn to fight to get him to grow. That was a big reason why when he was making his decision we went to Kentucky: o get him out of his comfort zone, get better and work on his game.
