Rice said Greg looks slimmer and much quicker. He said Oden was making bank shots and face up shots.
Bayno, who was interviewed on the phone, said that he feels Ohio State was a good place for Greg to be because it's all basketball there and there's less pressure there than being in Portland with the media and pressure. Bayno had been working with Greg religiously on "Duncan",series or something like that- which were offensive moves where he faces up in the post, doing stuff like jab steps, shot fakes, keeping his body low and his eyes up, trying to score in ways other than backing in and dunking it.
Bayno didn't focus on all offense. He worked with Greg on pick-and-roll defense and trying to guard 2 on 1 or 3 on 1 and other defensive drills, like shot-blocking drills and rebounding drills.
Merlin said something about a new radio station coming soon. Don't know if he was serious.
