VolQuest.com - A summer full of makes
Cuonzo Martin's Tennessee basketball team didn't believe the summer project he had for them when they first heard the number. He told them to believe it.
The theory was simple. Make shots. The number seemed unrealistic. Make 30,000 shots.
And do it before August 10.
"Your first thought is, 'Oh my God,' Armani Moore said Wednesday, after scoring 41 points in a Rocky Top League win at Christian Academy of Knoxville.
"Coach Martin is just building up our minds."
To help in that build up - and help with the math - Martin gave his players a pen and a notebook. The rest was up to them.
"We push ourselves," Moore said. "I mean, really, some people might look at that (number) and say that's ridiculous."
But it's not ridiculous, it's reality.
So far, Moore said, he's somewhere around 5,000 shots made as June winds down, leaving him roughly six weeks to make 25,000 shots.
