[QUOTE="bavanga3, post: 1831705, member: 748950"] Well thats the way a lot of people saw it. If you want more context, watch the postgame presser. Its only 8 minutes. You'll understand the other poster's CEO comment, albeit a bit exaggerated but it got his point across. When they finally asked Underwood what he could've done different schematically, he said "nothing". I love his passion, but he needs to hold himself accountable as a leader as well. Terrence Shannon didn't get outcoached against Houston in the tourney last year and Matthew Mayer didn't get knocked out by Loyola Chicago the year before. At some point, he needs to be a little more critical of his schemes and adjustments because offensively he has no structure and it shows far too often. We have to work waaay to hard at times just to get easy points. Those droughts will kill us in the end. That's a real problem, and if he needs to go get a great offensive assistant to solve it, then so be it. But don't completely throw your players under the bus because they were sluggish on an 11am Saturday start after such a huge win. Thats not just on the players. That's on the experienced people in the locker room to keep level heads, our seniors AND our coaches. I actually liked his rant, but at some point he needs to realize its not all about who wants it more. You gotta put your players in better positions offensively. [/QUOTE]
