SAN DIEGO - Mike Montgomery bounced around from station to station, clapping, joking, shouting.

Bent over and resting on his knees, he watched intently as Jason Richardson, Derek Fisher and Mike Dunleavy practiced various jump shots. He patted Troy Murphy on the backside after a post-up drill.

Montgomery's not in college anymore, but it sure looked like it. He said it felt like it, too.

"I wouldn't have known if I was at Stanford or if I was (at an NBA training camp)," Montgomery said.

Montgomery praised the approach of his players, drooled over the intensity of practice and expressed satisfaction with their overall progress on Tuesday, the first of five two-a-day practices at the Recreation IntraMural Athletic Complex on the campus of UC San Diego.
