It's one thing to be outplayed...but there's never an excuse for lack of effort.
 
A coach cannot execute for his players.
A coach cannot make up for the missing offensive game of an injured player.
BUT...a coach is responsible for strategy and control of his team.
In that regard Boeheim also shares some of the fault for this one.
 
He's said he doesn't believe in momentum.
He's wrong.
A play or two (or perhaps a good tongue-lashing) can change a team's performance.
Once you start believing and achieving a game can turn around.
We've all seen it.
 
And a coach's strategy can help make that happen...perhaps by going to a press or running certain plays.
Against Clemson Boeheim went back to an old flaw: failing to call a timeouts before the game started getting away.
He also failed to get this team to play a patient offense.
There was no excuse for rushing some of the shots we took...instead of trying to work inside.
 
We still may have lost.
But he didn't do all he could.
