Message: [QUOTE="msf22b, post: 3528557, member: 656"] 3. The breakdown in the Irish game this season, went significantly beyond what might have been expected (the last game for example). [B]Muffet's out of control, emotional reactions at times, MM was absolutely out of control at the pressers. During the games, her team was very young and inexperienced and it showed with turnovers and lack of offensive flow. The team did play significantly better towards the end of the season as they were well on their way to 20 losses. [/B] also went significantly beyond what might have been expected Her lack of success could be perhaps overlooked, considering her past record ..but her behavior[I] might well have been considered unprofessional, even unacceptable by the Admin[/I]. [B]That is pure speculation and she isn't the first coach to act completely unprofessional at a presser for ND.[/B].. ____________________________________________ Defense: Thank you for the word correction With regard MM's behavior, I was thinking more of her bench antics and breakdowns than the Pressers...Perhaps they go together. I remember a game commentator noting that it wasn't so great for her team's morale for them to see her: holding her head in her hands, tearing up, turning her back on play, wild gesticulating et al. A reasonable supervisor might not want to see that on National TV and/or conclude that the subject is undergoing an emotional breakdown of some sort. Your quote: [B]The team did play significantly better towards the end of the season as they were well on their way to 20 losses.[/B] Is true, they won a few games at the end but losing to (288) Pitt in the tourney first round is a clear example of an underachieving team in distress. UConn almost never does something like that. Conclusion: throughout the season, they played in a considerably poorer manner than expected considering the personnel available . You can speculate why, or just write it off to "lack of offensive flow." I prefer to question the reason for the team breakdown. [/QUOTE]
