Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 2016163, member: 3535"] I'm with you-- I'm not concerned. I said the following when I replied to you: [B]He did shrug it off I think [U]saying one game isn't a big deal [/U]but if there were 5 like this he'd be concerned. [/B] They just weren't as efficient as they normally are. He did keep them in the locker room - no shoot around to start the 2nd half. And I did think he was calm when he was interviewed. I thought something was off - but not a big deal. If you thought when watching they were at the level they normally play to- we'll just have to agree to disagree. But I don't expect perfection. Geno can - it's his job. I used to get upset years ago when Geno would go off on Tina Charles. The further frustration was that the media treated his exaggerations in which he was a coach as gospel. He was just using the "worst post in America" formula. It should never have been taken literally but the media believed him literally and as a result even today some fans think it true that she was a major under-achiever her 1st two years because they heard both Geno and read the media. However, in reality, Tina was honorable mention a/a her frosh year, 3rd team a/a her soph year - and in jr year she was among the top ten in America. Just because she wasn't "perfect" the moment she stepped onto the court as a frosh doesn't mean she under-achieved. The expectations were too high for a freshman to be a superstar. And in today's game for anyone to make any negative big deal out of this game -- their expectation is out of whack with reality. You're not going to get a perfect game or a perfect player. And Sometimes your team doesn't play at the same efficiency game over game over game. The pros don't do it, so why should we expect college kids too?[B][U] So I'm with you in that regard[/U][/B]. I just thought they were a little off considering who their opponent was and that they were playing at home. But overall no big deal. [B] [/B] [/QUOTE]
