Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 3383048"] Lots I could highlight negatively about last night’s game as Chief heads to the airport. But, others have covered that. Chief just wants to say how impressed I am with Akok using both hands in his shot blocking tool box. He uses the hand opposite the hand the ball is coming off. Uses his left hand against a right hand shot and his right hand against a left hand shot. This sounds basic, but so many guys cross over and use their strong hand. The crossing over increases the risk of fouls and shortens the reach to block the shot. By using great technique Akok avoids those two pitfalls. He also has a well coached patience on his blocking technique and has that God gifted quick explosive reaction only after the offensive guy commits to the shot. Akok seldom buys into a pump fake, which is unusual for a freshman. [/QUOTE]
