Red's Postgame Presser | Cornell

So from watching that I have a couple of takeaways.

The first 2-3 minutes was a non stop shot at Chris bell without using his name.
I like the reference at the end that they’ve talked to Donnie about playing inside more.

I have no issues with what Red said other than his defense of Carlos. He said Carlos isn’t a scorer and guys aren’t making shots or helping out on defense when JC is in there. Which is making him look less effective. Seems to me he’s reversed the cause and effect in that situation.

yeah, if he was just sticking up for a kid not to throw him under a bus, okay. If he understands that he has to make a change. But if was being honest to what he really thinks, we gots problems.

I thought the same things about his comments about not worrying about scoring…that was solely directed at Bell. I thought he handled that perfectly, as well as keeping Bell on the bench for the last stretch of the game. Red needs to keep that same approach with Bell because he hurts the team when he’s not scoring and instead sulking. I love that Red is the anti JB in that he doesn’t throw his players under the bus during press conferences, but there is nothing wrong with acknowledging that Carlos is struggling instead of placing the blame on other guys. Seems like a stubborn move that I don’t understand.

Finally, Donnie stopped playing behind the three point line and got inside. His strength is his quickness and athletic ability. He doesn’t take advantage of that playing strictly on the perimeter. He was aggressive and attacked the rim. Good game tonight. All three freshman played well.
 
Besides Brown, the rest are doing nothing and are playing at schools we’ll never hear from them again. If Bell doesn’t want to suck it up and get coached hard, just leave now and spare the coaching staff of being psychologists to keep his head on straight. He did nothing tonight that garnered any playing time. He deserved to sit. He can whine about it or do something to change the way he’s playing.
 
Red’s description of the Carlos situation is very worrying.
He knows the deal. He’s won’t give up on him and he’s not going to throw him under the bus. Carlos didn’t play much in the second half.
