“He’s going to hear about this for the rest of the season,” Flynn said after his team beat the sophs 140-128 in the Rookie Challenge. “That’s why I never speak too soon because things like this can come back and bite you. But I can talk now, and I will. Kevin’s going to hear about this.”
Flynn scored nine points and had seven assists in nearly 18 minutes. Love had 12 points and six rebounds in 18 minutes after not being chosen for the game last season as a rookie, a decision by NBA assistant coaches that stung him for months.
When asked that — catch phrases in the triangle offense — Flynn laughed during a phone conversation after tonight’s game and said, “There wasn’t none of that. We were running and gunning. It was good to go out and do that for a full game. That’s fun.”
Love played 18 minutes, scored 12 points and grabbed six rebounds after not being chosen for the game last season as a rookie, a decision made by NBA assistant coaches that stung him for months.
Both players came off the bench.
“It’s been a lot of fun, just being here, working in the gym and helping put up ‘Fat Heads’ around the gym,” Love said. “It’s gonna be cool to see once it’s a finished product.”
