Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 4787234, member: 628"] Dino stopped being that guy in the offseason heading into the 2019 season. His demeanor noticeably changed, and it's never been like it was those first 3 years. I've spent a lifetime berating people who criticize the lack of emotion from coaches on the sideline, but I'm reversing course on that when it comes to Dino. I've literally never seen a coach worse at working refs during a game. I can't believe a guy who had an office down the hall from Jim Boeheim for the past 7 years picked up nothing on that front. I've literally watched a Stanley Cup outcome turn largely because one coach exquisitely worked the refs after a game 3 loss (Blues-Bruins, 2019). The series was called VERY differently after the Blues coach went on a post-game rant, and it helped his team immensely. No one wants a Shafer-like lunatic out there. But working refs is very much part of the job, and it seems like something Dino actively refuses to do. [/QUOTE]
