Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 5737361, member: 237"] Let me just say this - you won’t hear it from him or the staff but Gerry expects a protected seed and a tourney run right out of the gate. That is who he is and what he will push for while letting the media and others debate like we are. Every loss is bad even if you can learn from it. He won’t put visions of grandeur into the heads of the kids he coaches he will present what he expects from them and what is possible if everyone does what they are asked and more. No guarantees on anything. That said if you listen closely where he mentioned the close losses at Siena last year ( 8 losses by 6 pts or less), the expectations he has of himself to accomplish are not going to be just getting by to make the tournament. That’s not the mindset of a competitor nor the way he thinks. He’s just smart enough to not put a box around the goals. [/QUOTE]
