http://blogs.ajc.com/jeff-schultz-blog/2010/02/06/hewitt-has-a-right-to-be-embarrassed-by-team-and-himself/

From the article:

A young reporter asked Hewitt in the postgame if he considered using somebody other than D’Andre Bell on inbounds plays late in the game, considering Bell was struggling. It was a good question. But Hewitt flipped. “He’s a fifth-year senior,” he said. “Do you want me to put a freshman in there? Do you think that’s the answer? Then it would be a second guess the other way. ‘Why does he have a freshman in there?’ That’s a straight second-guess.”

Excuse me, Dr. Naismith.

I love this quote -

“I pointed out in the [Duke] game, that kid [Kyle] Singler played with a bad wrist. He scored 30 points with a bad wrist. That took a level of toughness that quite honestly we haven’t seen around here in a little while. We have a lot of calls for, ‘I need more touches. I need more minutes.’

Sounds like a bunch of NBAers - which is why I don't watch pro basketball btw - exactly the type of kid being recruited by Hewitt.  The concept of this being a team game is lost on a whole generation of street-ballers who's prime objective is to get on SportsCenter every night.

The same kind of kid who gets their a$$ thrashed by Singler who's playing injured.

Maybe they should worry more about shooting free throws and winning than who's getting their 'minutes'.

After reading the article, the first word I thought of was

DUH!!!!!!!!

yes, the players played poorly but who recruited them and coaches them in good habits and is there at the games to direct? PH PH PH

THREE McD All-Americans and we hold on at end at home vs ncSt!
nothing unusual - BAD TOs/asst ratio and FT% ----but we also gave up 21, yes 21 Off rebs to State, talk about being out of position and no effort

The atmosphere at the Thriller Dome was electric. Especially 8 minutes into the game when it was 6-4. Whoo hoo!!
;)

A lot of heads were shaking on the way out. It felt like a loss.

It felt the same way watching on television also.  I hate to admit this, but I continued watching just to see how we were going to LOSE the game.  I think I'd have felt better if that had happened.  That's how bad it has gotten.

I have a feeling we are either going to "figure things out" or fall flat on our face.

I was furious with the late game melt-down yesterday and my opinion of Paul Hewitt is well documented. BUT....I loved what I saw from Hewitt after the game. He finally showed us that he's pissed. That's a step in the right direction.

I must I was mildly perturbed during the last 4 minutes but mostly I just laughed out loud.  What a goat rope.
