There were a couple of other thread I could have put this on, but they were like a year and half old, so I just started a new thread.

Wichita State senior Chadrack Lufile and associate head coach Chris Jans huddled in a dark office on Wednesday afternoon, watching clips of basketball practice on a computer screen.
Lufile, a 6-foot-9 senior, asked a coach for extra homework, a sign that a player’s improvement from his first to his second season isn’t limited to the court.
“This was the first time I went to coach’s office and said, ‘I want to be better. I want to see what I do in practice and what to work on,’” he said. “It’s like being a professional artist, you’re working every day to get that drawing to its best, as detailed as you can. I’m trying to get my game as detailed and polished as I can.”
Lufile, a transfer from Coffeyville Community College, played a bit part in last season’s Final Four success. If he can sustain his good work in October practices, he may grow into a bigger contributor. The Shockers need solid minutes from him after losing centers Carl Hall and Ehimen Orukpe.
