Title: After Meeting with Avery Johnson, Alabama Co-Captain Jimmie Taylor....... Post by: Marshal Dillon on February 17, 2016, 02:30:57 PM Good stuff.
Quote Avery Johnson and Jimmie Taylor met during the buildup to Alabama's game against Mississippi State earlier this month. Taylor had reached a low point after what had already been an uneven and frustrating first two-plus months of the season for one of the Tide's two team captains. http://www.al.com/alabamabasketball/index.ssf/2016/02/after_meeting_with_avery_johns.html#incart_river_index Title: Re: After Meeting with Avery Johnson, Alabama Co-Captain Jimmie Taylor.......

"It's not a one way deal. I am going to do more to try to help him be more productive because I'm the coach. But it's give and take. We need more energy, more passion. There's some more blocked shots and rebounds that I think were left on the board in South Carolina. He's a great kid, and I think his heart's good, so we had a little bit of a talk about it, and I hope that we see some improvement tomorrow night (vs. Mississippi State)."
