Message: [QUOTE="OrangeAl, post: 5309750, member: 308"] Brian Higgins asked him exactly that in an interview linked in the Ga Tech / Boston College thread. Devo said it's the guys themselves - not the coach - who are responsible for playing hard. College coaches don't coach effort. They expect it. My opinion: That said, the problem is roster construction, which is not fixable in-season. [LIST] [*]Don't get hard-balled by a free agent center who can't play more than twenty minutes a game. [*]Don't put high hopes on a forward who pouts instead of playing through adversity. [*]Don't go shopping for transfer players in minor college leagues. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
