TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Clemon Johnson is convinced that he’s got plenty of shooters on his FAMU men’s basketball team. So for the past few weeks since preseason practice began, he’s been harping on the D-word.Defense.
“They got the message that they’ve got to shoot the ball, but they’ve got to understand that for us to win ballgames we’ve got to play defense,” Johnson said. “I’ve told them that if they want to be on the floor they’ve got to learn to play defense. I’m looking for those individuals that can stop people from putting the ball in the basket.”
Johnson has good reason to be pleading to his players to pressure the ball more than they ever did. FAMU was the worst team defensively in the MEAC last season, finishing the season ranked 13th.
