[QUOTE="Calvin, post: 1247098, member: 4069"] This plus Tevo's post say it all. Very rational evaluation. For me personally, the way we (failed to) show up for the NIT after missing the dance two seasons ago was beyond sad, and was an ah-ha moment for me about our coach. I could that performance coming a mile away, and it came anyway. If you can't get your team to man up and take pride in the post-season, something's wrong. Since then, I've seen too many games where guys weren't, in my estimation, prepared to play. There were so many mental mistakes last night, it made me wonder if I couldn't have coached better. Not saying I could, but it's not often I think that. If it were just an off night, I wouldn't worry that much about it. I've written off plenty of games as a fan. For me, it's the pattern. Some side notes: Tracy brought it. Tate - I don't get people dogging him. Thought he played well. Exceptional offense always trumps exceptional defense, that's why you don't see shut-outs in basketball. That Johnson kid was frickin insane. Our front court executed poorly. Lotta weak moves and slop. Hill was MIA Team was lost down the stretch and I didn't see one single player step up. Someone needed to call a team huddle or get on guys during stoppages. Despite all that, it's still just one game. A win and some good bball will turn it around. [/QUOTE]
