It wasn't just Padgett. He only played 19 minutes.
Pankey also got six offensive rebounds.
I should have said Travis got abused by MD on the boards.
So, according to Turgeon, Buzzy changed our offense for the second half to emphasize driving to the hoop over taking threes. Good move Buzz.
So, if you drive to the glass, why don't you get calls from the refs?
Also good point by Buzz about our players having to learn and know whom to guard closely on the outside shot and whom not.
I give Buzz a good grade for last night but the reoccurring problem has yet to be improved (REBOUNDING!!)
The win against VT was not due to coaching at all bc we looked like a confused middle school team out there!
I will say that it feels good to be steaming mad at the officials instead of Buzzie boy!!

Opening statement:
"We dug ourselves a hole early on in the game with a lack of offensive efficiency"
On if the first-half deficit was just too big to overcome:
"A little bit yes, it was just too deep."

We're still dribbling too much.
What I find interesting about Bzzz's post game is he doesn't sugar coat it. Most are satisfied with the effort but he still focuses on what we should have done better.
He does recognize good things players do but doesn't sound happy with 'some' good things happening.
I agree with. Seems TC wants to drive too much without any real plan of what he might do with the ball. If he was as good a free-throw shooter as CJ I'd feel better about it.
I consider myself BzWait and some on here would probably consider me BzIn, but I think [Redacted]'s post-game comments were too negative. I think one of his weaknesses is an inability to show optimism in the face of defeat (at least publicly).
Obviously something is getting these kids motivated to play harder than they would have last year, but I think coaches need to be more complimentary of their players in post-game interviews.
A more apt opinion from my perspective is: we would have won the game if during our second half comeback run the refs hadn't bent us over and treated us like a 19 year old sorority girl.
QFT. A miserable job of officiating regardless of the comments by ref apologist known as The Reff.
