I don't usually accept the excuse of 3 games in 5 days for not playing well. But when it's flying to Pittsburgh and playing on Tuesday, jumping back on a plane at 3:30 in the morning, playing a good Coastal team with a lot of energy. Then hopping on another plane to Dover Delaware. I can understand how brutal that can be on a team that plays the style of game we do. It was an ugly win, but these men gutted it out. I believe that, along with the Montana trip, this all will pay dividends in the long run.
Now, for all you couch coaches. I've done more than sit back and judge our athletes. I have talked with and listened to Siddle on the process he is instilling. In the beginning, players were not executing what they were learning in practice. It started to click two and a half games in. I am hoping they will continue to buy into the process. Right now we are moving in the right direction. Can't guarantee it will continue, but I do know this coaching staff has the right vision for success.
