Now is not the time to panic.

[Fishy]

Not even close.

Get a good night's sleep, have a nice breakfast and then, when you've collected yourself, loose your s*** in blind freaking panic.

But, remember to stretch. Once you're committed to running around the yard at top speed, screaming about 44 points and losing streaks, the last thing you want slowing you down is a pulled hammy.

I've blocked out about twenty minutes of my morning schedule for panic. I've also sent a memo to my staff about the mandatory 10:45 PowerPoint presentation entitled "Holy duck**, we lost to Rutgers". We'll then break up into groups for a "Have Aliens Abducted Jim Calhoun" discussion and workshop.

Good luck and be safe.

Those are some solid action items you have planned for work tomorrow. On a go forward basis there needs to be a paradigm shift in offensive execution strategic initiatives.

I'd like to spearhead an initiative entitled, "Put the Ball in the Basket".

I think it will blow some minds in Storrs.

Look, not to worry. After panic, comes comatose and you won't feel a thing. Written by cohenzone's crack medical team. Alas poor cohenzone, we knew him well.

Don't forget "Ten Minutes", a guide to how one quarter of your time should be spent doing nothing.

I'll go out and treat myself to some muffins before going ape$hit

 

[Prezidint]

What is it, exactly, that you do here?

 

[GavinEdreamy]

Fishy, if you don't mind passing that PowerPoint presentation on this way, I'd like to show it to my students, who will have no idea what I am talking about or they'll be asleep, so then I can take my frustration with UConn out on them by failing them all on today's assignment. In fact, I might just load them all up on a bus, send them to Storrs, and tell them that no one passes the class until they kick the out of the men's basketball team in a scrimmage.

Unfortunately, my freak out session occurred unannounced and unprepared during the middle of the night, so I'm going straight to preparing for the subcommittee meeting right now.

My daughter is on the playmat beside me making a lot of noise (I hope my wife doesn't wake up)-she is either hungry, teething, or trying to talk. I only have 1 minute and 42 seconds left before I go check to see whether she really needs my attention.

So, I thought I'd send some of my thoughts, pre-meeting, to let them stew for a while:

She's hungry- gotta go.

Well, the way they played last night that shouldn't be too difficult.

You need an acronym, It's not really an initiative without acronyms.

"Now is not the time to panic". I like that. Unfortunately, I think the team has adopted it's own motto, "now is not the time to care".

So wrong....and so not understanding of properly managing crisis situations and panic.

The fact of the matter is, panic typically consumes a pretty big block of time. And in any crisis situation, the available time to assess and manage the the crisis is usually pretty limited, and it is always continuously diminishing.

Which is why you should begin to panic at the first sign of a crisis.

Get it right out of the way as early as possible, while you have some time.

You may not have enough time, later.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

You spelled "lose" with 2 o's, got the wrong number of asterisks in "duck*" and left off the question mark in "Have Aliens Abducted Jim Calhoun?" And I'm not supposed to panic?

One thing is for certain on my end: saying that I'd be satisfied with "ambient offense" was wrong wrong wrong. I recognize that the accompanying defense hasn't been especially lockdown, but I might have thought that holding ND & Georgetown to a total of 108 points would have yielded something better than two ugly losses.

 

[Dogdeacon]

Maybe Calhoun was mentored by Tom Coughlin and adopted the strategic vision to slug along at .500 for while before making an attempt to right the ship. Sure seemed like Calhoun's prevailing emotion was exasperation during the past two games. So he coached them just enough so that they were able to execute for 3.5 minutes, but then he could tell they weren't listening so the lesson abruptly ended and the players had to figure it out on their own for the final 36:30. He's banking on premise that every 5 minutes of inept inability to put ball in hoop results later in exponential growth in doing what the coach tells you to.

P.S. Someone please tell Shabazz Napier that faking a shot, then looking left and right and then shooting anyway never works for anyone in basketball so he probably shouldn't do that 6 times a night.

So long as you are going to start:

"Dribble penetrating" until you are cut off at the top of the key, with your nose jammed firmly into the defender's armpit.....well, that is a rather disadvantageous position from which to initiate your offensive set....

Just one more "set play" that shouldn't be run 8 or 10 times per game....

 

[freescooter]

Can we lose this team in the woods? Or the ocean? Or a river? anywhere just so we don't have to watch anything like THAT mess ever again.

No mention of launching jumpers touching or just inside the 3-point line? I really hate that.

I saw that this morning and thought of editing it, but decided to leave it. Apparently, I have an infant's tolerance for Nyquil - Lord knows what tonight will bring.

I will say this for it, though, I really didn't care a thing about the game last night. It's just sort of a hazy, bumpy memory.

 

[nomar]

I too am battling a cold with little help from Nyquil. I regret not drinking the whole bottle at 6:59 p.m.

 

[Fishy]

I have a theory that if you don't take any sort of medication until you really need it, it works better.

Consequently, on the one occasion every other year or so that I end up taking cold medicine, I really should be put in restraints. If I ever take those Tylenol PMs, it'd probably result in a missing person's case.

Its amazing that other people are allowed to post when you look at work like this.

Folks: dont bother. You aren't on this level.

To be fair, maybe he meant people were having a hard time digesting the loss and needed to "loose" their "s***" so their system didn't get too backed up.
