[QUOTE="Tygor, post: 1181941, member: 11480"] I'm not defending this by any means, but things just happen sometimes and is an accumulation and result of everything bad for one game. I coached two-year JC basketball for ten years and had some really good teams inside the conference we played in. I remember having a great team with great kids and sometimes they just didn't show up. One game in particular we were down by 23 at halftime to a good but manageable team and yelled at the kids that the opposing team wasn't 46 points better than us and it was an embarrassment to the program and pride. We ended up losing by 48 that night and went on to win conference and advance quite far in postseason play. That night the players met and came to practice the next day a different team. Again, I HIGHLY DOUBT it's the same situation, but things happen and was after a few poor outings in a row. I think the team can turn it around to be competitive going forward and put this behind them. But I've seen a team just fold one night and since poor play is contagious, the spiral couldn't be stopped that night. [/QUOTE]
