The hardest thing to change is a bad attitude.  I saw some of that in the game.  Dangerfield thrown to the floor with about 3:30 left in the game and with 3 refs nobody called it.  The unsportsmanlike conduct, the yelling at a coach some  hands flying like it was misbelief a foul was called on them.  It all comes from a bad attitude which is contagious on any team. ND lost their composure and poise because it became a one person show and their aint no "I" in team.  The frustration was caused by a couple of bad attitudes.   IMO in the next game sit those with bad attitudes.  Teach them a lesson.  They didnt do what their coach wanted.  They did what they wanted to do and lost.  As a coach you can not tolerate that.

One other point when posting about players.  Remember they are kids and they are somebodys daughter, girlfriend or sister.  Dont downgrade them.  They lost their cool.  They know it now and to reinforce it on the boards only makes it hurt more.  Just think if that was your daughter.  Be bigger then that and let the nastiness go.  It will show more class.
