[QUOTE="DReq, post: 1569773, member: 11449"] Listening to what Coach is pushing them to do - more scrambling for loose balls and intensity - I got thinking about the Matto Award and wondered if it is still being awarded. If it is not a thing any more I would suggest that a new award for that fighting spirit and selfless energy going to the floor for the loose balls could be named for Feliz to inspire today's players who know him and how he plays. I would not do anything to stop the Matto Award in Matt Heldman's honor but it may need to be updated for the current group of your players whoo were not born when Matt was playing (The award was created in 1998). Nice to see Grandison finding his inner Matt to get after the loose balls and inspire the others to do so. That edge makes a big difference in the B1G. It was truly great to see the guys pull out of a deep hole to take the game over. Next time lets just take over the game from the opening whistle. It would be a lot easier on me. [/QUOTE]
