QUOTE

Selby's mother, Maeshon Witherspoon, to Scout.com on what her son is looking for in a coach:

"As competitive as Josh is, (we want to see) how a team fights back through adversity and how a coach handles adversity. Does the coach go off when a point guard has a turnover? You know, Josh is gonna have turnovers. We'll watch the body language from the coaching staff as well as the players."
