[QUOTE="Deleted member 236589, post: 1353430"] I'm not worked up, I'm giving these kids and this coach a complete pass on this season. They deserve that. This will be a better team in December than November, they will be a better team in January than December, so on an so forth. If that does come to fruition, this will be a great season. Many considered this a "bad loss". THIS YEAR, anybody who loses to us is going to feel the exact same way. We, currently, will be a bad loss on a tournament teams resume. Maybe not so in late February, the jury is still out. Give this group and regime time to get this program off the ground again. No, the refs we not good last night and in some cases, I did wonder what the heck was going on. That's just what it was. That said, we made all of the mistakes that a young team makes. If we make half of the 8-12 footers or the bunnies right in front of the rim, we win. If we don't commit fouls 70 feet from the basket, we win. If we don't turn it over a ton, we win. If we don't get stagnant against a zone, we win. The refs didn't help matters, but we put ourselves in the position to make those calls mean something. [/QUOTE]
