Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 2446429, member: 6158"] I don't agree with respect to Boat. I think he bled blue all the way. And I think he expressed that by giving 100% and then some on the floor at all times. Never saw him slacking. You could see the frustration though, with his teammates who often seemed like their heads were 'in the dark". Often just no fire in the others. That falls on the coach. I know KO has had a lot to overcome but he just looks like he doesn't believe anymore. It shows on him and it shows on his players with few exceptions. Some players last night (Diarra, AA, CV and at one point Polley) looked like even they were fed up with the [B]lackluster effort. [/B]Others seem to go hot and cold with effort. Certainly can't be accused of being over aggressive. Very disappointing and KO does look like he is lost and playing out the string. No fire and no faith; just sadness and occasional anger. Very, very disappointing and I don't enjoy commenting this way one bit. Kids are looking for a leader. You can't pin that on the kids, it starts with the HC who has to take ownership of motivation and make it work. I have tried to be patient and hopeful but so many things are so visible. Either the coach and team will change or the team including the coach will be changed. [/QUOTE]
