Message: [QUOTE="Jack Hall, post: 1314382, member: 3962"] I dont know, you keep kind of changing your rhetoric. Here was your original post that i was replying to: "every coach in America will tell you they are not thinking down the road but are focused on winning tonight's game." Heres a quote from Cal that tells me coaches who think they have a shot at a title DO think down the road, as well as worrying about winning the present game: [B]Q. The last undefeated team now in the NCAA, I know you said that doesn’t matter to you[/B]. COACH CALIPARI: " I think South Carolina (Women’s Team) is undefeated and Princeton (Women’s Team) is undefeated, so there’s some other teams. I think our rifle team is undefeated. Did they? Like I said, this team, the question is, how good can we be. And I don’t know yet. I’m trying to get guys to go to that next level. I’m prodding and pushing and screaming and yelling, go, because I really do want to see how good can we really be.... So when you say about undefeated, we’re playing every game to win, but if you do I told them last night, we lose today, we’re 20-1. So? I said, you lose in March, your season’s over. Right now, you should just try to find out how good you can be. And that’s all we’re doing. I’m not I’ve had a team at Massachusetts (UMass) that was started the season like this, I had a team at Memphis that started the season like this, both of those teams took an L and by the end of the year were the best version of themselves. By the end of the year. So, and whether that happens to this team or not, one way or another, I would rather them win it all or win them all, but if they don’t, this doesn’t. Just as long as we’re getting better." I only use Cals quote because they are the consensus #1, but my guess is most title contenders think along these lines, ie yes they do "think down the road", even occasionally during the course of a game.
