>Still, it's amazing how many coaches just won't buy it. Another anti-hacker is Bucknell coach Pat Flannery, whose teams upset Kansas and Arkansas, respectively, in the '05 and '06 tournaments. He trains his defense to trap the good shooters, and doesn't want to risk a bad bounce on the second foul shot . . . .
