I'd like to hear what he has to say.

Do you realy want to hear what he has to sa or do you just want to find new quotes so that you can complain about him some more?

Makes one wonder...

What's the point? Remember when he promised we would be a pressing team? Remember when he promised our entire off-season focus would be conditioning and defense?

Did you not see us press this year?
We did in the very last game so you shouldn't have to think back too far.

2 years ago he promised we would be a pressing team. We supposedly worked on it all summer long and then scrapped it after about 20 secs of the first game.

That is incorrect. Go rewatch the end of the last game please.

Well it was actually last season that he said we would press a lot, but when we did we weren't very good at it because we weren't very long. This year with the press you had King, Crawford, Kendren, and Burrell who are all long guys.

Plus having Nichols on the back line being a much better rim protector helped a lot this year

I suggest you watch the 30 games before the last one.

Another example of a coach grasping at straws.

We're saying the same thing. He knew the personnel he had. He made the decision to focus the entire off-season on teaching the press. He then abandoned it after the first game. Either he doesn't know how to effectively teach the press or he doesn't know how to match his strategy to his personnel.

Depends on what he has to say............

Don't give yourself a headache wondering Forrest.

So, will there be an end of season, wrap up press conference?

I heard Kirby talking about doing end of the season interviews with current players, seeing where their mind is at, etc.

"Well, I just want to say thank you to the players, to the assistant coaches, and to the fans. Obviously we didn't have as much success as I would have liked. I would have loved to win our last game, to win the conference championship. I want to be playing in the NCAA as bad as all of you. But hey, only 68 teams out of 350 or so get in. Getting in is not a birthright. I like to tell my players, have an attitude of gratitude. Playing college sports is a privilege.
So now, we have some work to do, but I like our prospects for next year. I think we will be really good. I think we have a chance to do some good things."


i could go on and on, but that is close to exactly how it would start

I think there will be a presser fairly soon. At minimum to discuss the guys who are transferring.
If they get rid of Pastner obviously and if the extend him with a low, low buyout clause so they can dump him next year, the press will be all over it.
It'll be interesting as hell.

Maybe the fact that he hasn't had a post season presser is telling. I really did expect by now the usual statement as so well channelled by Alcade a few posts above but so far nothing. Maybe something's happening that can't be glossed over with the normal cliches.

The only thing going on is you and I drinking jack after the Jordan game next month...



... or likely beer at that bier garden on St. Marks, that was a good deal last time...

That sounds reasonable but I still wonder why there hasn't been anything said.
