Guys dont seem to be having fun this year

Something is definitely going on with this team, I feel like there have been some issues that just haven't been released to the public. It doesn't even seem like all the coaches are getting along. Rarely do you see any of the assistant coaches talking on the bench.

Roscoe smith doesn't even sniff the court until the last 2 minutes? His wrist wasn't even taped anymore. Definitely something going on behind the scenes. C'mon Man

That's what a lot of "longtime fans" were saying in the 09/10 season as well. Never happened. This team could be different and I really hope it is. Drummond is a nice kid that deserves better and there are a few others on the team that fall into that same category. But, after watching this team for well over 20 years and talking to folks throughout the years that were "inside" the program, when the team fails it is usually due to a team chemistry problem. To be fair, it isn't always the fault of a player or players. Frankly, Calhoun can be a serious jerk to deal with and not every kid can handle him. Like everyone Calhoun has his good points and his bad points. He is a double-edged sword that has slain a few monsters over the years. We get to benefit from that and, sometimes, we get teams that are frustrating as hell to watch. None of us know how this will play out. I won't assume it will be good or bad. As silly as it is to assume it will be a bad season, it is equally silly for "longtime fans" to assume it will be a good ending because, with their selective memory, it always does. It doesn't. Stuff happens........

9/10 was the one and only truly underachieving team in Calhoun's career and it was a team led by seniors. They were supposed to be better in Nov. They were not a team of underclassman plus 1 learning new rolls and/or learning the system and/or learning to play in the Big East.

The truth is, nobody has any idea if they're "having fun" or not. It's all stupid, idle speculation- but I suppose that's the point of a message board.
