Norm Stewart + positionless is an article from RockMNation:

https://www.rockmnation.com/2020/7/12/21320347/melvin-booker-reflects-on-mizzou-tigers-basketball-most-memorable-season-1993-1994

Which doesn't contain a quote from Norm on the topic, but they leap to the conclusion that him saying "so they all just kinda took turns” to mean he was referring to positionless basketball out of context.

The actual quote Norm gives in the article is:

“They maximized their ability better than maybe any other team. This ball club was better than the sum of its parts. They outdid themselves... Much like a small town, the entire team was needed to make their dreams a reality.”

                         RE: Still not what it means (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 1/7 13:23:13

                                                            and applying it to a team with - phrejd MU - 1/7 15:25:19
                                                                 It just means that Lamont Frazier was a small forward, who - FIJItiger MU - 1/7 15:34:13
                                                                      Not close - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/7 15:40:15
                                                                           Who else on that team in any capacity functioned - FIJItiger MU - 1/7 15:50:46
                                                                                The current team hasn’t successfully deployed it maybe that - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/7 15:53:31
                                                                                     RockMNation claimed that is what we were trying to build - FIJItiger MU - 1/7 15:58:30
                                                                                          Villanova was the college team that made that term popular - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/7 16:01:12
                                                                                               Villanova wasn't the 93-94 tigers. stop trying to change the - phrejd MU - 1/7 16:03:32
                                                                                                    It’s weird that this term bothers some of you so much (nm) - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/7 16:08:59
                                                                                                         It’s weird how you consistently try to change the subject - phrejd MU - 1/7 16:13:18
                                                                                     he specifically asked about the 93-94 team. don't dodge - phrejd MU - 1/7 15:54:47
                                                                                          He keeps thinking positionless means - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/7 15:58:59
                                                                                               who on that team functioned in a way that would - phrejd MU - 1/7 16:02:41
                                                                                                    All of the top 7 players fit - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/7 16:08:15
                                                                                                         lol. no. good grief (nm) - phrejd MU - 1/7 16:10:42

                                                                                                                   wait i thought you were explaining it based on norm's quotes - phrejd MU - 1/7 16:17:47
                                                                                                                        So you can’t explain why they weren’t positionless - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/7 16:22:41
                                                                                                                             umm... because they all played well-defined positions? - phrejd MU - 1/7 16:26:24
                                                                                                                                  Again positionless doesn’t mean you don’t play - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/7 16:30:25

                                                                                                                                                      Positionless doe not mean that there aren’t positions - wu-tangtiger MU - 1/7 17:13:45
                                                                                                                                                           again, where does norm stewart describe this as positionless - phrejd MU - 1/7 17:30:38
