Ex-Hamilton Star Adjusts at USF
Feb. 2, 2008
by Jim Masilak, Memphis Commercial Appeal - Read the complete Memphis Commercial Appeal story Myron Strong knew things were going to be different in San Francisco the first time Eddie Sutton gave him a hickey. Sutton, the legendary former Arkansas, Kentucky and Oklahoma State coach who emerged from retirement last month to coach the Dons on an interim basis, uses the so-called Hickey System in practice to reward or punish his players. "When you do good, you get stars. When you mess up, you get hickeys," said Strong, a freshman guard at USF and a former Hamilton High standout. "At the end of practice, if you have more hickeys than stars, you run." It took Strong a while to get comfortable playing for 71-year-old Sutton, whose next win will be the 800th of his career.
