Message: [QUOTE="UConnDan97, post: 2438991, member: 2305"] I'm still an Ollie apologist, I guess. There's been a noticeable drop in his energy on the sidelines for 2 years running, but contrary to what folks here say, he knows x's and o's. He's famous for drawing up great inbounds plays, by most commentators takes. Pick and rolls, etc. And he's been very solid on the recruiting trail. What we saw today was a team with no pride, no heart, and no UConn. He has to take some blame for that. But you had better believe that the players need to take some blame for that, too. Your shots aren't going in? Understood, but then move the ball around to find better ones. Don't settle for the first 3 pointer you see six seconds into the shot clock. And when someone else on your team hoists up a shot, you had better get your backside on that damned glass! And even after having said all that, if you wear the word "UCONN" on your jersey and you don't have pride enough to seem to be bothered by giving up 100 points on defense, then this isn't the program for you. We are so damned soft! That's the ultimate problem for me. Again, part of that falls on Ollie. But good God, a big part of that falls on the players... [/QUOTE]
