John Wooden won numerous national championships coaching UCLA, because, among other things, he taught the players how to do Transcendental Meditation (TM). As usual, around this time of the season, as witnessed by the loss to ASU, the Wildcats are 'melting down'. A coach is supposed to inspire the players to 'bat above their averages', but Shawn's coaching uses negative energy even if he is trying to empower his players. I will write a note again at the end of the season and send it to Shawn Miller this year for the fourth time year. I will suggest that Shawn learn how to do TM. I envision that he will effortlessly energize a team that does not 'choke in the clutch'. Until then, "there's a certain protocol"...and that sucks the energy out of the team.
