What did he do? I was unable to attend.

The whole Cluck Cluck thing. He was completely focused on the Chick Fil A promotion (10 FTs get the crowd Chick Fil A) that, while we had a player at the line(yes it's out of reach game but it's still serious business to take care of), he's reminding everyone that we only need one more free throw to get Chick Fil A. If he put the energy into pregame preparation that he put into giving a fuok about the chicken sandwich he'd be okay.

Anyone hear coach on KMOX this morning?

Yeah, listened on the way home from church. Ackerman asked about FT in the exhibition. Ford commented that they worked a lot this summer with both French and Goodwin on the FT’s. He believes there will be improvements. 

Complemented French and Goodwin on their board work during the Exhibition. Said Collins could have had 7 or 8 assists if his teammates had hit the baskets. 
Ackerman told Ford “this is your town”. And of course Ford wants a large, loud crowd on Tuesday.

CDC is on the trail of this fast spreading epidemic. Initial signs have led them up Chouteau then south on Grand. Has nothing to do with vaping so smoke 'em if you got 'em. Predicting possible outbreak Tuesday. 

We want this to spread. No one gets vaccinated!

Ford was on the 2 Fox last night with Martin.  Talked about Yuri, leadership of Goodwin/French/Thatch, the non-conference schedule, how the Mizzou/KU game hurts chance of SLU/Mizzou,  the NCAA decision that players can make money off their likeness (he would prefer it to be spread out over all D1).  Ended up talking about Jimmy Bell and how Ford is still undefeated at HORSE so he is the best shooter on the team and "definitely the best free throw shooter".

Just really glad Kilcoyne took the time to ask our coach about Mizzou and their team this year 

He didn't ask them about their team this year.  He asked about if trying to schedule Mizzou was more difficult now.  Even if Martin would have asked him about the Mizzou team this year, I would understand it with Travis.  Travis's son plays on that team.

So you are basing a summer long effort on one exhibition game?  Goodwin plus French took a grand total of 4 FT attempts. 

French has jumped all the way from 35% to 50%!!!!! That's HUGE improvement. Unfortunately, Goodwin looks like he will end the year with a goose egg.

BTW, Thatch was 2-2 after hitting 61% last season.  What did you see in his two attempts?  Different routine, different mechanics?

You don't think Ford helped played a role in improved shooting from Bess last year?

nope.   i think bess did that on his own.   bess was an extremely high character guy that was on a mission to prove izzo wrong and get a shot at the next level and did what he had to do to get better.   i wish we had that kind of character and heart with every player.  but that is a man that comes around every couple of decades likely.
