He doesn't look like a football player. He's barely 6 feet tall. He's not particularly fast. He can't out-jump his classmates. And he's never played a down of organized tackle football.

Hey, even the inestimable Dean Smith scrapped his vaunted four-corner spread. Change is a good thing. A cure is needed.
