STrib blog: Ahanmisi handling "different" captain duties well

per the STrib:

Pitino said some players would pout after being benched for the two biggest games of the season to that point. But he said having that conversation with Ahanmisi is different.

“It’s not hard with Mav, and that’s a credit to him as a kid,” Pitino said. “It is difficult. They all want to play, they all believe they should play. And sometimes guys deserve to play and they just don’t for whatever reason. But Mav made it really, really easy on me as a coach and our staff. I told our team, after Maui, I said listen, Mav is going to be successful at whatever it is that he does because he’s got intangibles as a person that can go a long way and he showed that.”

Go Gophers!!

Mav's always seemed like a good kid. He's a bit overmatched physically a lot of times but he's developed into a reliable guy that can give quality minutes.
