TJD senior day comment

"I've always had the ability to block shots," he says. "With Coach Miller, he wanted me to box out with help-side guy. I had a different role.

"In open gyms throughout my career, I've handled the ball and taken it up the floor. In game situations my first two years, they wanted me to rim run and pass to the guard. When Coach Woodson came, he unlocked a lot of my game that was there, but didn't get recognized."

Woody has praise for all the seniors … Race says

As for playing two years for Woodson, Thompson says, "It's been great.

"We've been able to build a relationship on and off the court. He always tells me I'm his son. He's my dad away from home. Having that relationship where he can coach me, be hard on me, and at the end of the day, I know it's all love.

"He's trying to make me the best player I can be. I'm extremely grateful that I played for a coach like him."
