JB's Presser after Tech

[OrangeXtreme]

Is JB wearing a neck roll?

 

[Trueblue25]

Damn i wish i could hear the questions... a minute in this is frustrating.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

"10 miles." "When you get a team..." Nice.
Alright. I'm no longer equivocating. Don't like his act.

 

[AZOrange]

Damn...JB...

 

[cspades99]

Pretty perfect vibe for this loss.

But that last answer is right: find another way to win when you don't shoot well. They don't have one. It's maddening because almost every SU team I can remember would win games with defense alone.

 

[Trueblue25]

John Gillon's the only reason we've won the games we've won?

Alright, yeah I disagree.

Pfft, have you coached a team?

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Is JB wearing a neck roll?

Maybe it's a cowboy collar.

 

[Trueblue25]

Pfft, have you coached a team?

Wasn't an observation, it's fact.

Gillon's been timely for us but that's just damn ridiculous.

 

[Madbiker]

Should have asked him: Coach has your team ever faced a 1-3-1 zone before because they looked clueless?

 

[Scooch]

He praised Roberson.

Then torched Howard.

So, progress?

Who was he berating?

Haha, did NOT expect an actual response to that.

Wow...I was like "who is that?" Then I looked again...creepy

 

[jdubs30]

JB prefers Gillon to Frank is annoyed when anoyne asks. I don't think even think JB is a big Gillon fan - I just think he loathes Howard at this point. If FH comes back next year he'll get Robey treatment

 

[AZOrange]

He praised Roberson.

Then torched Howard.

So, progress?

I haven't wanted a season to end so much since 2002

 

[CuseFaninVT]

He praised Roberson.

Then torched Howard.

So, progress?

I must have missed the question about Roberson.

He's wrong about Gillon, but JB says stuff.

I'm not convinced he likes this team.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

Who was he berating?

Anyone but himself.

 

[Trueblue25]

Haha, did NOT expect an actual response to that.

Was more so playing along than going after you, my bad.

 

[CuseCPT]

"He's the best PG we've got by 10 miles. So it's not even a question I would think somebody that watches us play all the time would ask."

This is a good summary of the inflexibility I can't stand. The 2-3 is our best defense, so we will play it all the time unless we have to press out of desperation. Player X is our best Position Y so he will play unless he gets hurt or fouls out.

It's such a bizarre unwillingness to adapt to to the fact that a particular defense might not be the best defense at a particular junction in a game, or that a particular player might not be the best player on a given a night. This is our system, if it works we win, if not we lose, but we won't change the formula. So frustrating.

 

[Toga]

Anything?

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Who was he berating?

Not sure. Couldn't even hear the observation.

 

[Trueblue25]

I must have missed the question about Roberson.

He's wrong about Gillon, but JB says stuff.

I'm not convinced he likes this team.

"Do you like this team?"

"If Red, Mike and Gerry went out and recruited anybody else for me...ANYBODY else"'
