You merely saw a coach trying to keep his players motivated and working hard to keep improving.  The idea that we can win a game vs. the #11 team in the nation, against our greatest rival, with the result being a dramatic change in perception as to who and what we are... is amusing.  
 
The fact of the matter is, the team can make a disciplined commitment to improve on the glass.  I have seen Kjo do it.  I have seen Dirty do it.  In both cases the effort is very inconsistent.  CJ is already a good rebounder.  Christmas and Fab are space eaters who are gong to get theirs.  The guards can also make more of a commitment to it.  It can improve - and it really depends on the opponent.  I actually think we'd rebound better vs. bigger teams that shoot better.  The zone has always been susceptible to smaller athletic teams that crash the offensive boards.
 
In Georgetown, I saw a team work the clock and attack our zone very smartly.  I only remember 1 or 2 runouts .. they got back on D very quick.  Yes - we all hate G-town, but they held us to 55 in regulation.  They deserve some credit.  We know that CJ, scoop and Dion can all play much, much better.  If CJ hits that shot in the middle of the zone, like he normally does, it probably changes our offensive output dramatically.
