"I told them there was a chance I could be fired or a chance I could be here for another 10 years.
"I told them there was a chance I could be fired or a chance I could be here for another 10 years.
We need to get back to playing with great passion and for each other. And whatever happens, happens. We had great practices [after that]. [That's my job as a head coach] - to help prepare them for things."
The Bz media victory tour is in full swing and will end with an extension announced in the next few days.
Prepare the molotov cocktails.
Mac asks about fans bringing up 'why can't we do this more often'. Bz: One of the reasons (he's not into excuses). 9 of scholly players are freshman/sophomores. Maturity leads to inconsistency on road (I THOUGHT YOU WERENT INTO EXCUSES)
Another 10 years? Oh Lord no! :rulz:QUESTION ABOUT JOB STATUS: do you at all allow yourself to think, 'did this win save my job?"
"I'm gonna say something that has not yet been made public. Had a meeting on Sunday. I could tell our guys weren't right. I asked if it was about my job. I told them there was a chance I could be fired or a chance I could be here for another 10 years. But this is your responsibility. You have a responsibility to play your tail off. For your family name, for Wake Forest, for the people who pay for your scholarship, for the people who played before you, ... The right thing is to play with passion, energy, and collectively. This is about something bigger than Jeff [Redacted]. We need to get back to playing with great passion and for each other. And whatever happens, happens. We had great practices [after that]. [That's my job as a head coach] - to help prepare them for things."
Mac is asking about speculation about his job - do you allow yourself to think "I wonder if that win saved my job, or what do I have to do to save my job"
Bz - will say something he hasn't said to anybody. Had a meeting with his team on Sunday after BC game, could tell guys 'werent right' Bz asks if it's because he might be fired, says "I have a very good relationship with my players". Bz tells them they have a responsibility to play hard for their family, school, teammates to play their tail off. that's what a man does when faced with adversity, play with passion, energy collectively and individually. This is about something bigger than Jeff [Redacted]

Another 10 years? Oh Lord no! :rulz:
Agree with [Redacted] there. For some reason, I wonder if the light bulb has gone off for him finally. The "this ain't about me, next question" answer after last night's presser was the prefect response. And holy hell, we looked like a damn good team last night. Great ball movement and decision making. (It helped that Duke missed some open looks.)
I assume Parker will win ACCPOY by a significant margin. Paige would be a terrible choice.
