Kansas playbook: Learning to fly
From Coach's Edge

With freshmen and sophomores logging most of the minutes and scoring most of the points, the most important thing for the Jayhawks is to have confidence. The young Kansas squad has the talent, but lacks the experience and confidence necessary to make a serious run at the title.

But if coach Roy Williams' club can just relax, play and believe -- they have the talent to play with anyone.

(A) It's freshman to freshman on the perimeter as Nick Collison (4) steps out and sets a high screen for point guard Kirk Hinrich (10).
(B) On the opposite side, sophomore sharp-shooter Jeff Boschee (13) pops out of a screen from Drew Gooden (0).

(C) Option one is to hit the freshman big man, Collison (4), cutting back door off a screen from Kenny Gregory (20).
(D) If Collison isn't open, sophomore Boschee (13) isn't a bad option behind the 3-point arc.
