Team captain Zegarowski after last game said (paraphrased) "He hurt us, but he's had my back in the past and I have his back." Seemed to speak for the team.I like to hear more from the players, but at least in the surface it seems like the parties involved handled the coach’s mistake well

I can't tell you what was in McDermott's head when he said that but I've never heard anyone use the word plantation like that. Maybe he meant to say reservation, which isn't exactly pc either, but I've heard people use it like that before. But plantation?Still completely inexplicable how “plantation” is in anyone’s lexicon (let alone a bball coach) in 2021, but hey
Well, I spent more than a decade in the coffee industry and it's kind of a necessary noun.Still completely inexplicable how “plantation” is in anyone’s lexicon (let alone a bball coach) in 2021, but hey

I just found it a very odd analogy to use. I mean like dude seriously? I dont think he shouldve been fired or suspended for too long but he definitely needs to fix any damage done to the relationship with his kids.Team captain Zegarowski after last game said (paraphrased) "He hurt us, but he's had my back in the past and I have his back."

And we need to drain free throws when we get them.We need to be ready for that Creighton game in the Big East Tournament.
We should not think that this will be a walk in the park. It won’t, this could bring that team closer together.
They will be coming into the tournament with a chip on their shoulder.
Game plan needs to be good here and guys need to be strong at all positions.
PS: This is the one team where the up and down game favors them. We need to bully them down low. We need strong defensive efforts from Martin and Whaley.
PS: Dagger Trey Ty and Bouk will be key on offense.
Dude, its America, the coach is a white guy who is paid millions, and his mostly black team is unpaid: plantation most definitely has racial implications. And I had to re-read your post twice just to confirm that you in fact thought "stay on the reservation" was both an acceptable phrase and good defense.You can't be serious. The word plantation on it's own has no racial implications. If you feel that way, maybe you are the one that needs to look in the mirror.
The context of how he said it considering his position on the team is what made it inappropriate.
He probably meant to use the phrase "on the reservation" but butchered the colloquialism. People butcher saying and phrases all the time, it happens. Unfortunately, there were racial implications in his error.
He owned up to the mistake. Glad to see the school made the right decision after the players weighed in.
I hope no one here nor on the team thinks it’ll be a walk in the park, because it most certainly won’t be.We need to be ready for that Creighton game in the Big East Tournament.

One game at a time should be the focus. Let's defeat PC/DePaul first, and then we'll see .We need to be ready for that Creighton game in the Big East Tournament.

I think the two Ls they hung on us make it pretty clear it’s not a walk in the park. I also think the focus should be on Providence, or Creighton will not matter.I hope no one here nor on the team thinks it’ll be a walk in the park, because it most certainly won’t be.
