+1

Really glad to have Borna Jr. back in the Convo. I ran into him this summer and said hello and he seemed a bit surprised to still be recognized!

Consider, with Tommy's addition to the staff, that the 2010/2012 teams that excelled have four guys that are already entering the college coaching ranks: (unless I missed someone)

Tommy Freeman
Walter Offut
Ricardo Johnson
David McKinley

Very good news! This is a great addition to the staff. Will he be in charge of teaching the art of three-ball shooting and charge-taking? ;-)

Are there official stats on charges taken? Must be.

Tommy must be #1 for OHIO.

He took a beating taking those charges. I remember a cruncher in Las Vegas vs. Lansas.

I would bet that Jeff Boals took more charges than anyone in OU history.

Good point. Boals knew his role and executed.

And no "flops" - was a brick wall (Tommy's were not "flops" - just not the brick wall that Boals was). Tommy prolly took more. Boals were just so memorable - often at mid court or top of key setting the screen for Geno bringing ball up the court or motion O top of key screen and they would literally bounce off of him onto the floor. Tommy's were often making a smart timed and bold D stand on a drive to the hoop.
