Coach Henderson Is Insistent On The Number Of Shots Kent Will Take

Kent State 49, Miami 47 ◼ Miami interim coach Jermaine Henderson has done an admirable job of filling in for Charlie Coles under adverse conditions. And it’s too bad to see the Miami season end in a closely fought, albeit alarmingly low-scoring game against Kent State.
Before Al Fisher’s hesitation jumper to seal the win, coach Henderson had a message for his RedHawks team during the timeout, since Kent was able to take the last shot: Kent State will shoot once, and once only. Thanks to the majesty of ESPN360, here’s an audio snippet of Henderson’s final message (right after Steve Mix quips “take it down to about 4 seconds”):
Fantastic. “One Fucking Shot” should replace “One Shining Moment” as the feel-good phrase of the NCAA tournament. I want to see that video montage so badly.

Jermaine Henderson is my older brother and I remember as a young athlete his approach to the game. Basketball is something he takes personal. This little snippet is just a tease of how intense he is as a coach.
