Coach Holloway on Hakim Sani Brown's SEC title in the 100 meters…
"I told him this after the 4x100 relay, you're going to be sore on a championship weekend. You just have to go out and trust your technique. He did, and he was fine. Hakim, for a long time, has run off of talent. He's finally starting to embrace the technique of the 100, the intricacies of the 100. You can't just put the blocks down and run. I know he can get better, but the biggest thing he did this weekend was finally trust his race model better.
"I know people are probably going to criticize me, because it probably cost us a championship, but I'm not that coach. I'm not the guy that's going to put someone on the track that's not sure if he can make it, just for the sake of the team. That's not who I am. Hakim has big goals this summer for the World Championships, and with the Olympics next year. I don't want to cause a setback.
