I think about that a lot because no one in my opinion this season has actually stepped up verbally and held other teammates and themselves accountable.
It only seems logically that Davis and withers being 5 year players would step up and lead by example but that has not been the case. Coach Davis during an interview last week said this is the quietest squad he has ever been around.
Last season the transfer theguard from Notre Dame was unquestionably the leader in the Locker Room and on the court and many teammates spoke of his leadership qualities but this season there has been no fire and brimstone from anyone.
Some may remember a couple of years ago when the team like this years squad was underperforming Bacot went off in the locker room on his teammates saying “if you don’t want to be here don’t show up”. Several of his teammates got offended and decided in the off season to transfer out instead of trying harder to improve.
Many would say it is Coach Davis’s job to raise Hell to try and motivate the team but I say it is the entire team’s responsibility to hold each other to a higher standard. Someone needs to light a fire even if it is a underclass and have a player’s only meeting so everyone knows their job and the goals of the team.
Do you agree or disagree that a player needs to emerge as the leader not just on the court but also in the locker room…
