Observations:
1. Pac Ten stud Angelo T. spent more time talking to refs than playing sound basketball. He was zero for the world from distance and fouled out early in the game.
2. In the closing seconds with our team in the double bonus and down one point we lost the ball on the dribble. Any coach in the world will tell you to PASS it into the low post, attempt a shot, and at least hope for two free throws.
3. There is no team leader. This is huge news and spells doom for this team.
4. Tobias Jahn was a pleasant surprise and Rich Neveau also had some flashes. But nobody played a complete game wearing white jerseys.
This could be Coach K's first losing season ever. And the lack of university support might send him to another coaching job. |
A. I am about as mad a person can be from this loss.
B. Angelo is inconsistent shooter. He tries to hard when his shot is not on which lead to turnovers and bad shots, but when he is on he can lead a team to victory.
c. I never got why coach k called a time out. Larry had a chance to drive it to the hoop. If he missed we can save the timeout for the last play. Second the last play should of gone to the post, but what can you do.
d. I agree there is no team leader yet, but I have a felling someone will step it up. You will think it would be Daniels or Angelo, but its going to have to be Gordon.Gordon has the capability to carry this team on his back in times. the other problem they have is the team chemestry. I think that is the reason why we see alot of bad passes/
E. Tobias was a surprise, but the problem with the team is the depth. I mean right now this team has no depth because of injury. they only suited 9 guys. Coach K bascially trust 7 of the guys.
I do not know if Coach K will leave but the lack of budget all around is starting to scaring me. I guess we are seeing the reason why we never moved up to division I. Anyways I know its our worst start i still have hope. All i want now is win against monterey to get our first win. Of course if we do not get it. It will be a long season for the mens team.
