Also seemed like BU took a diff interpersonal approach with guys coming out of the game... more nuanced instructions and teaching points versus the intensity/yelling at players in an effort to improve them.... my 3 yr old on her own started calling him the angry coach. Sat while watching she excitedly said "daddy, I saw the angry coach and he wasnt so angry!!"
This is from a post from a guy at the game on the previous page of this thread.
"Dre. Wow. Big off the bench. He's making better decisions, though he made some poor ones early in the first half. At one point in first half he did something stupid (turnover, missed assignment) immediately followed by a time out.
BU got in his face and was raging. "
First point is that we only see what the cameras show us if we're watching on TV.
Second, it stands to reason that when a team is playing well there will be less yelling. It doesn't stand to reason that in those instances that a coach has somehow changed his style.
Third, there will of course be times when "nuanced" coaching will be employed. But there's not a whole lot of nuance involved with many of the basics of basketball.
Fourth, all indications are that guys like the coach. I'm not real concerned personally about style points. Let's just win big.
