I still go with my comment after the last game. Hubert has lost this team and when that happens a coach is screwed. They seem to quit and lay down real easy. No fight!!
Very little stuff (Pitt game)...
- Thread starter gary-7
- Start date
Saturday will be an interesting test. Has there ever been a UNC team that didn't get charged up for the rivalry game?
If they don't show exemplary fire against Duke, then the problem is pretty bad.
If they do, maybe there's still hope for this team and maybe for Hubert, as well.
Not saying we have to win. But we need to see superior effort and commitment.
Let’s stop blaming the refs…This team is poorly coached and the Roster was poorly constructed…The refs are not the reason we will miss the NCAA tournament for the 2nd time in 4 years…
I think they fight plenty hard in my opinion, they just don't execute, and have a hard time finding scorers or any easy buckets, especially in the lane. Losing games by 1, 2, or 3 possessions, to me isn't laying down and just taking an "L" in a blowout, easy night for the opponent. With the undersized lineup "laying down" would get ugly really quick in these games.
Saturday, fighting hard may not be enough to keep it competitive, they better execute along with the playing hard.
Dude, YOU BETTER STOP COPING OFF MY PAPER! LOL
I was about to reply to the same post and see you beat me to it, spot on BTW. It is one of the primary jobs of a PG, to know his team mates, that doesn't mean knowing what their favorite video game is or their favorite cookie! It means knowing your team mates strengths and weakness, it absolutely includes knowing their sweet spot for catching a pass and not having to fumble it.
Nate referred to a pass from Cadeau to Lubin, I recall that pass and screamed when I saw it. You pass the ball to a big man, on the run, deep under the basket with multiple defenders around him and you expect him to successfully complete the play? I think they even called it a TO for Lubin, that was a Cadeau TO absolutely. Cadeau is an amazing talent, gifted from the man above with great ability. But his decision making is so far why he isn't mentioned in the same breathe as Ty, Phil, Raymond, Kendal, Jet, Joel, or Eddy.
I hate blaming the refs, especially after a loss because it just feels cheap. How do you take it when the dukies or the Raleigh flea infested do pound crowd cry about the refs after we beat them? Man, you just have to adjust the how the refs call a game, all I ever ask is the refs call it down the middle and call it the same way 1 half to another.
Execution is a coaching thing .. you do it over and over and over until it's natural. This team does very few good things well. They do a lot of bad things instinctively. jmo
If Roberto Duran Lubin doesn't muff that pass with his hands of stone, it bounces right to his belt line.
A PERFECT BOUNCE PASS.
EC is supposed to make that split second decision with less than 3 minutes to go in the game that I can't pass to the guy out in front of everyone because he is a freaking buffoon?
