Men's basketball: A powerful influence

DRC/Al Key

North Texas guard Shannon Shorter has become a key player in his first season with the Mean Green, which will play in the quarterfinals of the Sun Belt Conference tournament on Sunday night.

Shannon Shorter remembers the day his mother’s patience finally ran out. North Texas’ starting small forward was in high school at the time, and always seemed to be in trouble. He got into fights, talked back to teachers and didn’t listen to anyone, least of all Selina Maxwell, who kicked Shorter out of her house that day and sent him to his grandmother’s for misbehaving yet again. Shorter’s mother figured that if anyone could straighten out her son, it was Dee Lazard, who just so happened to be a national class bodybuilder.
