It really is. He looks like a short circuited robot.
That happens when you lack offensive skill, confidence and have to overthink everytime you get the ball.
In his defense what the hell was he supposed to do in those 5 seconds?
For the love of...:bang::bang:
I mean did anyone K losing his mind on the sideline the other night? Berating guys that he pulled? He looked like he was going to have a stroke.For the love of...:bang::bang:
Look, I can't begin to contemplate what it must be like to be a Div 1 athlete in a high-profile situation like Robey's in, but the idea that the poor dear got caught up in a situation with the mean old HC is ludicrous, IMO.
He's a senior, and I'd wager that round about the 1st practice of his freshman year, he had an idea of the kind of tactics JB employs on his team(s). To his credit, he didn't leave...he stayed.
Not for nothing, but when did we become such candy-asses? Obviously, some coaching styles don't mesh with certain personalities, but Robey is not some "babe in the woods fending off that awful Coach Boeheim who repeatedly hurts his feelings with all his yelling and screaming"!
JB has been JB for 40 YEARS now. He is, what he is...for better or worse. It's a shame, if true, that Robey hasn't thrived under those tactics, but that's NOT entirely JB's fault. No kid ever went to Indiana to play for Bob Knight, or South Carolina to play for Frank Martin, or Purdue to play for Gene Keady, or yes...Syracuse to play for Jim Boeheim, with blinders on. You know what you're getting into, and you either adapt, or wilt. Either way, you know the one to change will NEVER be JB. After 40 years you'd think that every SU fan and player would know and learn to accept that fact! Sheesh!
JMHO
Run hard like the rest of his teammates. At least make a Duke defender pick him up.
I think that's kind of the point. An instinctual player will fly down the court to do something even though there might not be time.
Doesn't count. He's won 1000 games and is in the Hall of Fame.
No. It was not. They weren't going to foul him to stop Gillon from shooting a desperation shot. Second, at the very least, if he would have run up court, a duke player would have picked him up. There is no spinning this. He should have hustled up court.
If you think Robey was told not to hustle down court , then you are wrong. That my friend, with all due respect, is ridiculous. Watch the tape. He didn't hustle. And he doesn't always hustle. That is part of the issue with him. He doesn't always come to play.
He should flying down the court in that situation to position himself for a tip or follow at the rim.
