    Darko gets his hands up in the post as second-year forward Mehmet Okur guards him.

    "Darko, roll with the ball," Brown yells after Miliic pops instead of rolls on the pick and roll.

    Brown runs the play again. This time, Darko rolls to perfection. He catches the ball, spins and then misses the layup. He grabs his shorts, bends over and shakes his head in disgust.

    "Darko, don't quit," Brown yells. "Get a rebound. Don't give up on the play."

    Milicic nods, wipes the sweat from his brow and goes back and tries again. This time, Darko spins away from his defender and hits a soft fadeaway.

    "Darko, very good," Brown says with a smile.</div>
