Do we know the Damari story? I’m too tired to go back thru the thread. Is he injured or in the dog house?

I hope Damari didn’t aggravate his injury, but that would at least explain his frustration. On the other hand, if selfishness and self-absorption got him benched, then he really boned Marion into minutes that he isn’t ready for today

I don’t think he was worse than Damari’s been.
 
As a lifelong WF fan who has been watching them since the late 1970's, I can honestly say I've never seen a WF team who can win so convincingly at home but absolutely goes off the rails on the road. It is both baffling and infuriating. I have been here through Tacy, Staak, Odom, Skip, Dino, redacted, and Mannequin and have never experienced this level of highs and lows. I am at a loss

Just listened to Stan interview with Forbes. He says he has tried numerous techniques at halftime to get them motivated and nothing has worked.

This is yet another massive red flag. If his primary focus is what he says at HT is his focus then no wonder we keep imploding and I assure you nothing will change. Almost manningesque type quote if true. Instead of focus on his schemes and whom he plays and getting them to play good team D, trying a full court or half court press, etc. just an unreal quote.

But it’s not a home-road thing. It’s a road second half thing. The home team starts to play harder and we just disintegrate.

This implies he thinks the 2nd half problems are about motivation whereas to my eye the issue is our opponents do a much much better job at making adjustments and putting an effective 2nd half plan together.

This could mean a number of different things. Hopefully Damari, the team doctors/trainers, and Forbes are all on the same page.

ETA: but something tells me they are not. Would be pretty gut wrenching to watch him drain 3s for another college team next year.
 
Don’t understand how you can’t get motivated to close out games to make the NCAA tournament. Sounds like a player leadership issue as well
