JB said the players were tired at halftime

[SaltLakeOrange]

Wow you have down to a science , you know exactly how many Pts were his fault on the defensive end. Seemed to me they hit several 3s from the corners.

Stop...unless we defend at the top of the zone, we get shredded...that‘s happened COUNTLESS times last year and it happened today. It’s going to continue too...

 

[Scooch]

LOL. Guy...“should’ve” isn’t a thing you can just keep saying.

If what he says is true, I understand why he’s annoyed. But you can’t keep talking “tough” based on we “should’ve” beat them.

Coaches are insecure AF, lol.

“Should‘be” is indeed weak, but I don’t blame the guy for being pissed. It’s even more weak for JB to be complaining about playing the game.

 

[CuseRunner]

Here is a wild thought. In case this happens again instead of pausing basketball activities. How bout with the regular weekly testing we do. If we get positives just isolate and quarantine the person or persons who test positive and the rest of the team continues with basketball activities. We should have never paused for 10 days. Isolate quarantine JB and the one player who was positive. Autry Gmac and Griff run practice with the rest of the players who are getting testing regularly anyway.

 

[OrangeDW]

Fair assessment. Buddy is a one dimensional player who along with his other starting guard are about the worst defenders I’ve ever seen.

Buddy is also building an argument for being the best 3 point shooter we’ve had.

 

[Ghost]

WHOAH

 

[Ragman2000]

"we deserved to win the game but didn't make enough plays...". Ok there bub. Maybe we have different definitions of "deserved."

 

[SUbear]

Wait a minute, Bryant was in control equally with Syracuse, He could have said they were not going to play today. The fact they both decided to play does not change the fact that Bryant was practicing and Syracuse was not.

[Ragman2000]

I'm sure JB regretted that we weren't ready and thought they would be a cupcake. That said, this guy for whining. Me doubts we ever play Bryant again.

 

[Toga]

If it's possible to be a stat stuffer in 9 minutes, Kadary did it.

 

[Ragman2000]

"he's a HOF coach and I'm a nobody, BUT..."

He should have just stopped there. Anything after the "but" makes you sound like a sore loser and an ashholee.

 

[Alsacs]

LOL, Bryant coach himself said he wouldn’t have wanted to play.

It’s not an excuse.

He’s mad at the double talk.

No he torched the bullchit spin we get from JB.

JB talks out of his ass and never gets held because nobody will say what the Bryant coach said.

For all the people who say JB is honest all the time it’s crap. He is smart and knows how to politic.

Garbage that JB would say we wanted to cancel when we clearly didn’t want too.
Just like he said at halftime we were tired and then he made no subs.

 

[pfister1]

Yeah, when I read this I took it as JB was talking about our administration, not Bryant.

I find it extremely hard to believe JB doesn’t cast a really big vote on an issue like this, so for him to say “they” should have canceled sounds a lot like he is making excuses.

Not practicing for 2 weeks is a big deal. You will not EVER go out and play well in a game in that scenario. Anybody that knows hoops knows that. Bryant coach agreed.

Agree. Think it was pretty ballsy for the Bryant coach to say what he did. JB isn't perfect and isn't always right. It's ok to admit he doesn't come off great in this.

 

[tptcuse]

When did D1 College Athletes became an at risk demographic ? Just saying.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this to you, but there is something called asymptomatic transmission. I hear it is a big deal.

Then JB should have cancelled the game.
Like Bryant offered.
A lot of college basketball is cancelling.

The crap out of JB’s mouth is just postgame spin.
It’s bullchit he even says this crap.

If we needed practice nobody in our fanbase would be upset we cancelled or didn’t even play Bryant.

I think the coach was well within his rights to reply the way he did. Using the term "should've won" repeatedly was weird.

They probably should have. He used the phrase "deserved to" which they did not. It's not like the game hinged on a bad call. They had their chance and they blew it. Twice. Take your "deserved to" and stick it Jared.

Seton Hall didn't practice for two weeks was without one of their best players and almost won at lville today.

 

[Arangeman]

I heard that interview with JB on the radio at halftime. It was nothing but him making excuses for a bad first half and why we might lose. If you don’t want to play, don’t play. But don’t cry about the situation after you decide to go forward.

If JB didn’t want that game played it wouldn’t have been played.

 

[jncuse]

This season, more than any other, will have annoyances... the team has to embrace solutions rather than embrace excuses or they are doomed to fail. And that tone must come from the top. Those halftime comments were extremely disappointing and I know this will irk some, but they were frankly embarrassing. .

 

[Alsacs]

Their coach called our coach out for bullchit spin.

JB feels after the game we should have postponed the game then he should have done it.

It’s an excuse just like the Bryant coach making excuses.

Our coach shouldn’t double speak.
Cancel the next game. Let the kids practice.

How JB talks to the press is rarely if ever how he addresses the team.

I agree. They should’ve.
