ANN ARBOR \u2014 Michigan won the Big Ten Tournament last season and went further in the NCAA Tournament than all but one team in the conference. The Wolverines did this despite turning over the basketball at the highest rate in the league.<\/p>\n

Head coach Dusty May was obviously aware of this problem and tried many remedies. \u201cWe punished them for months,\u201d he explained recently. His former boss at Indiana, Bob Knight, made his players run long distances to atone for such mistakes. \u201cWe did that,\u201d May said. \u201cAnd then we gave them incentives not to turn it over. We tried just about everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
