It was so weird to see someone laugh in the presser at their own joke. I love the dry wit of Boeheim and the way he treats the media since I also hate them. Hop is telling jokes about doritos in cars and laughing. I'm not saying I didn't like it and I don't love Hop because I do. It was just really weird.
that was weird, some of it nerves I guess. He is still finding his stride with the press and will not challege them, just as he is not challenging refs as a good apprentice shouldn't.
He is definitely following JBs script to a tee when he kicks off the PC though. Here is his outline for every game, right out of his bosses operating manual.
{Well, I give credit to {opponent}
, they worked hard {on the glass, on D, forcing the pace, pick one}
and made us earn every possession. I thought {opponent}
had a great game plan, and that is a testament to {opponents head coach}
. I have a tremendous amount of respect for {him/her}
, and they could be a tournament team in March {never indicate which tournament}
. I thought we really {started out, or finished, first half or second, or both}
well, we just need to learn to play all 40 minutes. The guys have to get back to work in practice, and keep getting better in the areas of {shooting, rebounding, defending, passing, running, pressuring, select as many as apply based on the outcome of the game}
. We'll get ready for {next opponent}
as we know each game will be a challenge in this {league or OOC schedule}
. Questions?}
