Message: [QUOTE="Twolf, post: 2566269, member: 8437"] I still can’t tell if your posts are serious, or if you’re trolling, but if you are serious you definitely lack understanding of how most college coaches operate. Calling a timeout to get it right when they have heard the same thing 2 1/2 hours a day since October will accomplish exactly what? If the athlete has been coached to talk, and switch ball screens, as an example, and choose not to do it most coaches are then going to try to find someone else who will. Why would you waste a timeout to tell an athlete what they already have been coached to do, is within their control, and they choose not to execute? Everyone loves to watch the pace UConn plays at, the discipline the team exhibits on the floor, and the amazing success the program has achieved. You can rest assured that wasn’t achieved by the coaching staff just saying do it this way, pretty please. Lessons are learned, sometimes the hard way, but if the player had control of it, that was their choice. None of this suggests the coaches are perfect, and they would admit it if you asked them, but their method of team building has resulted in a program that is the gold standard in their chosen sport, so their modus operinda must not be as far off as you suggest in your posts. As for your suggestion a mistake might warrant a suspension- I would offer that as exhibit A as to why there might be a suspicion of trolling. JMO [/QUOTE]
