When NBA legend Allen Iverson accepted the position as head coach of the Iowa State University Corn Rats men's basketball program, he knew he would have to undergo a period of transitioning from player to coach- he just wasn't prepared for how difficult that transition would be. "The thing is," said Iverson in a recent interview, "is that our team has no problem getting up for the official competitions. It's the pregame sessions where we rehearse our plays and physically and mentally train, that the players seem unmotivated to either attend or put forth much effort. In the contests themselves, everything seems to click. But the blocks of time where we get together as a team to go over our plays again and again, that's the thing they can't seem to get into. It just doesn't make any sense and our staff and myself just can't figure out the reason for it."
