Slo-Mo Theater: Jabari Parker Alley-Oop

As you learn basketball, coaches will tell you to never turn your head on your man. Jim Spanarkel was an absolute genius at this: he'd get behind someone, and when they looked left, he'd move right and when they looked right, he'd take off.

Anyway, when Gardner-Webb breaks down the video from this game, the guy who was supposed to be guarding Jabari Parker on this play will hear about letting him out of his line of vision.
