I agree the ND game seemed to be an aberration in terms of how JB reacted to certain plays/players. Kris, in particular. But, the OP is a lot about hindsight. JB, during that 2003 season in which you suggest he was 'looser,' did not know he was coaching a team that was going to win the NC. We weren't in fact, the best team in the country at any point in the season - until the last game, perhaps. We weren't even the best team in the Big East. 
 
I got the feeling in the ND game that JB just really sensed we were 'off,' besides missing Melo, and he was more frantic in his sense of urgency. I don't think it's a trend, and i'm not worried about that particular aspect. What IS important is figuring out the rebounding issue, and figuring out that the other teams have discovered a series of 'blueprints' toward beating us. It isn't that complicated. ND, however, DID need a lot of good fortune (some lucky 3s) and the home crowd to make it work on a day when we were clearly not us/SU.
