Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 2372511, member: 548"] I love your anecdote about our 99 team and the idea that we need to do a good job of getting better. In my profession, that is called a positive reframe, but it’s more than that because it suggests a framework within which to view this team. We know that they currently aren’t good, but they certainly can get better and that’s what we need to be rooting for. A “good” job is a reasonable expectation (not a “great” job) and perhaps can help us with our inevitable frustrations. Friend Gary said last night that in his 50 years of watching SU bball, this is the worst team he’s ever seen. Gary needs a positive reframe. I know we often knock the team because it cushions us from our disappointment - “they’re awful and I just don’t care anymore!” - but if we can see them as a young team who has a LOT to learn and probably won’t do it quickly, it may help us. I should say, it may help me. [/QUOTE]
