Fans Hate Control But It Pays for Coach Cowles
Os borne Cowles, 48, University of Minnesota basketball coach, advocates ball control over fast break. His methods emphasize patient setup and long and mid range shots only when four players anticipate rebound or an open view. His Dartmouth teams won seven EI championships in eight seasons, with notable runs in the NCAA tournament. Since moving to Michigan and then Minnesota, his teams have shown strong conference results, including a near undefeated non conference mark last season. This season, Minnesota has started 4-1, with a loss to Washington amid wins over the Huskies in a two game series lead up to a strong start.
