Mark Turgeon starts us off after a 26 point loss to Iona:
This is the biggest challenge I’ve ever had in coaching; it’s not even close...I can’t make it any easier on these guys...The lack of commitment to running the plays the right way is mind-boggling. I’ve never seen anything like it...We were selfish, I don’t know how many times we can ask these guys to run back [on defense], and they still don’t do it the way they need to do it
Turgeon cited an offensive play that the Terps ran properly 10 times on Friday against Colorado. According to Turgeon, he called the same play three times in the second half against Iona, and it was botched each time.
That was hardly the only thing that aggravated the coach, who spoke with players in the locker room for an extended time following the defeat, enumerating the myriad ways in which they had performed poorly.
