THE CANADIAN PRESS/Chris YoungTORONTO - Darko Rajakovic remembers what it's like to be an eager young basketball coach, trying to absorb as much as possible from more experienced teachers.
“Back in the day, I was one of those coaches. I was sitting in the stands and listening to the clinics and trying to steal any knowledge I could and learn,” said Rajakovic after the practice. “For me, it's a path that I went through so I can really respect them showing up on a Tuesday morning in a cold arena and ask questions and be eager to find out new information. I take it very, very seriously.
“Darko, I think, brings an intensity to practice,” said Agbaji. “I think that that helps us get ready for the games and put stuff into light and into focus that we need to really take into a game. “I thought that our coaches did a really good job of presenting some of the stuff that we're doing offensively and defensively,” said Rajakovic. “But it was also very cool to hear coaches ask really good questions.
