Message: [QUOTE="Kitaman, post: 2535325, member: 67"] Observations on that 2 minute clip: 1. Coach is in denial 2. "Recruiting for UConn guys"; UConn guys are 10-9 which mediocre, they also lose a lot (past couple of seasons). Defacto, that's what and who he's recruiting. 3. "We see what we need and are out there recruiting"; Well that has been for 4-5 years and still no shooter(s) or stud (potential AA needed for Championship) or already developed beastly big. 4. 'Our players are getting better', well why isn't our record reflecting that? Hell why isn't our on-court performance reflect that. Are players' decision improving? Are we reducing our turnovers? Is our shooting getting better? Is our defense getting better. What the hell is he talking about and what does he mean? Or he could be right but our opponent players are getting better'er much quicker and more superior than ours. 4. Admitted the ship is sinking. That's the most telling. If the ship is sinking its going down. Everyone who stayed on the Titanic drowned. Perhaps that's is the reason players were transferring; they felt the iceberg and they got off the Titanic. 5. While I admit it was a tough interview after another humiliating loss, Ollie was unemotional, unapologetic and seemingly indifferent. He also offered no solution for the next game(s) to prevent it happening again. It was as if he took a Valium before getting up to the podium. Contrast that to the bad/angry attitude of Calhoun (who hated to lose, especially get embarrassed). He would throw tantrums, make snarky remarks, argue with reporters and basically intimidate them when he was pissed off. With Calhoun you could tell we lost bad, and he would never make it rosy and acceptable. Guys this ain't a good reaction and certainly not hopeful looking forward. [/QUOTE]
