Martin said Geist “lost a little fire” when he knew there was no one to challenge him for playing time. Near the end of the season, when the coach would get upset at Geist’s play, he’d briefly sub in Rau, but that punishment hurt the Tigers too much on the court.
Perhaps Pinson can push Geist, who Martin believes “has to keep that edge” to be at his best.
Martin tells Geist to make it a goal to go full practices and games without turnovers. But he wants the point guard to maintain a “carefree style,” rather than play with fear of making another mistake.
“It starts in practice, be able to flow and play how you know you’re able to play,” Martin said. “Being able to focus on the ball, make good decision, and be a vocal leader. I think he has it in him.”
