we all got trophies... some where just bigger than others. I'll reward anyone for effort... you deserve a paycheck for showing up but the winners/hard workers will get bigger trophies/paychecks!

It's bull crap whine from the coach. "Back in my day" - he lives in a new day. "In the real world you'd get fired?" SUCH bull. We all can point to people at our workplace who "should be fired." Heck, maybe WE'RE one of those people.

Coaches have gotten what they want - more money, more things, nice arena. They fawn over players because THEY are afraid of losing their job. They make compromises all the time, let folks get away with stuff because they don't have the spin to go "BOO!"

Fingerpoint into the mirror, Jeff.

And there are times I feel similarly about Geno - and times when his motivation makes sense.

Be the adult you want your young people to be, dude.

BINGO!

I that his best point was this - he recruited all these players. So if he thinks his kids are "losers" and don't have the will to win and don't want to work hard, he has no one to blame but himself.

Well if you read the article, he did.

Coach Walz comments on the comments about his comments after victory over Kentucky

Seems like his players agreed with him - a pretty decent response.
Love the bit about the three year old running around with the players after wins, but understanding that if the team loses that pleasure is not going to happen - I am sure there is someone out there that is fearful of how these disappointments to a three year old will scar the child for life.

@Dillon77 could help notice the lack of love from Jeff for our Jersey girl. Maybe Jeff will let her come home-Rutgers?

“Coach's decision.”
(Coach's decision?)
“Yep, coach's decision.”

Whoa. Sorry to be remiss in the response...been involved in one those "suck you in and don't let you go" projects.
Sam Fuehring's time on floor has been diminishing since she had a perfect shooting game (6-6) against Lafayette. Little time against SCarolina. Two minutes against Maryland. Coach's Did not dress against KY,. Would be interested in what precipitated this because the Sam Fuehring I read about in high school was known as a straight shooter and hard worker. (BTW, what would it have taken for the reporter to follow up with
"What was behind the coach's decision?") We'll see if she suits up against Western Kentucky this weekend and what becomes of her PT.

Hope this works out for all concerned. But, if the reduction in PT continues at the current rate, some landing-spot speculation (Dillon's druthers, if you will):

- First, it's really too bad she's in the ACC and the transfer rules are so prohibitive because I think she'd be a natural at the elbow in South Bend. ;) But drop the ACC.
Is she still open to being away from home (Jersey)? If so...
- DePaul. Bruno's system is great for heady/hustling players and SF would fill the bill;
- Michigan. I could see her gravitating to Kim Barnes Arico, another Easterner gone (mid)west.

If she came back to/near the Garden State.
- Not sure about the fit at Rutgers and the "defense to offense" press and push that Coach V. employ(-ed/s?)
If she went eastern Big1G, I'd see her more at Penn State.
- If she went anywhere in NJ, it could be Seton Hall. Sam F. did attend a parochial HS

Lots of choices around Philly - Temple, Villanova.

I suspect Jeff knew the wisdom of saying nothing. His response was basically 'No comment'. Lots of people start a sentence and then can't find the end of it! Young college players can run afoul of all sorts of things both sport related and school related. Hopefully it is just a wake-up call, like Lou's bench period.

That's a good point. Sometimes the less said, the better (less paint around the corner!).

As I said, this will hopefully be some kind of lesson and both Sam and Coach Jeff move forward in a positive manner. As I said, from all indications, she's a good young adult.

But, yes, Villanova, Temple, Rutgers, Temple would all welcome her services if things don't work out on the Ohio River.

I been watching Sam F since her first year at Immaculate Conception..........very hard working kid who I have to assume is less then thrilled with splitting time with the freshmen........were she to transfer and I doubt she will, I could see her coming back to this area to Rutgers or Seton Hall (who are on the upswing) or perhaps she would reconsider Dayton which is a school I know she was very interested in............
 
Walz made the "Big Time" today. Part of his "rant" was featured on the Rush Limbaugh Show today.
Mega Dittos!
