Familiar Territory

What about that famous story of White sleeping overnight in the Iowa locker room after getting locked in as a freshman?
Rick White (Aaron's dad and youth coach): "I just kind of smiled. If only you knew the Dad and Son arguments that we would get into about me saying, 'You should be working out, you should be lifting weights, you should practice on your shots.' ... That didn't quite register. I kept telling him to do that; it would make it easier his first year in college. Just common sense-type stuff. But he didn't want to hear anything about that. Well then, fast-forward a couple years later and he's getting locked in the gym because he's there so late working out ... you realize that he kind of gets it and what it takes."
