KP Report on the UNC Tarheels Saturday Noon ESPN 2

Proud of myself, at no point did I allow myself to think we might win that game.
 
What part are you talking about? What was poorly coached today? We had a game plan, went with it, and it worked. If wilbekin would’ve gotten the ball inside to Doral (with a 6’4 guard guarding him in the post) on the third to last possession under 2 mins then we win that game. But it’s Manning’s fault. Riiiight

EXACTLY!!! The coach drew up a perfect play that Wilbekin didn't execute.
 
They took Crawford out of the play. Woods with a fairly open deep 3 for the was probably not the play drawn up but also not that bad of a shot. I did not like giving Doral the ball up 2. You knew they were going to put him on the line. I think that cost us the game.
 
Manning loses another one with horrible end of game coaching. WTF with Doral out of the lineup with 1 minute left and Childress chucks up a 30 footer. He is just a horrible in game coach and especially horrible end of game coach. Wellman hired a guy for head coach who should be an assistant coach at this level. Totally got outcoached by ol Roy at the end.

And why was Wilbekin in the game on the defensive end, if you had a TO to do a offensive/defensive sub? He guarantees a mismatch, and sure enough, he rotated over but was absolutely no resistance to Berry. It was like he wasn't even there. If someone like Brown is in that position, he at least makes that shot a lot tougher.
 
How is a 89% FT shooter missing one and 54% FT shooter missing the front end on the coach? And you are also wrong about the possessions. Our next to last possession was Craw tying the game on a drive.

Having the 54% shooter on the floor after a dead ball, especially when he can't make anything but a dunk, was idiotic

I wouldn't make that mistake coaching MS ball
 
Our team does not look well coached, anyone can see that.

why are the Manning defenders willing to cut so much slack?? it's the same ol same ol in end of game situations. Sitting there with timeouts. Not having the players drive instead of run down the shot clock to nothing while up 2. Then a piss poor play call or unexecuted play call on Key's heaved up 3. Great guy, great recruiter, mediocre game coach at best.

He was setting us up for the defensive possession and getting an offensive rebound.
 
Insert “they are who we thought they were and we let them off the hook” rant

When up by four should have played more aggressive.

Manning will be just fine once he has the players next year. Unfortunately lost Collins and Mitaglu early.
 
we should've won that game. that's a bad unc team.

Yeah but Manning coached us to a one possession game against UNC on the road.

Who cares if UNC is way,way overrated right now and might actually suck. I mean the first half they were terrible.
 
Lol I knew I’d come here to see some of y’all idiots blame this game on manning. Never fails

A division I coach should be able to coach 40 minutes, not just 38. This was on coaching, I don’t know how anyone can argue otherwise on those last few offensive possessions. Just complete wastes.

Kudos to Manning and the players for showing up and playing waaaaaay better than I expected. But an ACC coach should know how to plan for end of game scenarios, at least better than what I just witnessed.
 
BULLSHIT!!! With Doral on the bench, anyone on UNC could have driven the ball to the hole and gotten an easy shot. Plus, UNC had to cover and help on Doral which gives our players a better chance to score.
 
Hopefully the Deacs grew up today. I saw more effort and passion than all the other games combined. We came up short but effort like that will serve us well going forward.
 
I can’t figure out if I like Dan Dakich or not. He says things that really crack me up and he says things that make me scratch my head. Better than Vitale and Walton for sure though.
