If you only read one thing about the Vols today . . .
. . . make it Grant Ramey’s article about Rick Barnes’ culture of consistency. Go read the whole thing, but here’s the money quote, from assistant coach Rob Lanier:
“I remember saying to my self, ‘Man, when I become a head coach, I want the people around me to feel the way he makes me feel in those situations.’”
