Wichita State freshman guard Corey Henderson Jr. is learning how to watch basketball a different way.
Assistant coach Greg Heiar gave him DVDs of two Shocker games from last season as a way to speed Henderson’s understanding of the offense. He watches on his Xbox in his dorm room. Then he talks through what he saw with Heiar.
When he finishes those two games, he will get two more.
His instructions are to watch players, especially junior point guard Fred VanVleet, without the ball. He needs to understand what the guards do after they start the offense, where they cut, how they space the floor and how they return to take control if the initial thrusts at the basket don’t work.
