Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 5547653, member: 626"] Personally, I measure a team's prospects by how hard they give effort no matter what, and especially on defense. I've coached basketball for middle-schoolers and let my kids know, unequivocally, a lack of effort especially on the defensive end, was simply unacceptable. Period. Whenever a parent approached me about Johnny's lack of PT, the answer was always the same- "Ask Johnny WHY he's not getting any run. He knows why". That was it...you play hard, or you sit, no excuses. Been troubled by this aspect of Red's coaching since day 1. IMO, it's a total lack of respect for his position as HC, as evidenced by the last 2 years. I don't get why Red doesn't coach like his azz is on fire, and set the tone IMMEDIATELY, exhibition or not. It's disappointing, and very disheartening. JMHO [/QUOTE]
