[NU Sports] The more things change . . .

[cherron604 at aol.com]

I can not recall one - but can anybody else remember a loss/collapse making BC (appear) angry ?

The long-running debate about whether a coach is 'emotional' enough, or whether he gets 'fired-up' enough is impossible to decide, it seems - so much is either unknown (what goes on face-to-face, or in the locker room), or totally subjective.

Do I think that Fitz has the proper 'emotional balance' because I've witnessed it, or because he 'seems' upset when they lose when victory was possible ?? Or do I think that because he took a team predicted to do little and and won 7 games ?? And brought them back 'better as a team' after something bad happened ?

All I know is that when the football team looks bad in losing to a lesser opponent (i.e. Indiana), I have confidence that Fitz will strike the right balance in 'getting on' his guys for losing, but finding the good things (if any) in the loss and building on those.? I am not always sure I have that same confidence in BC.? 

I have also not witnessed (on any consistant basis) BC getting substantially more out of the talent that he has.? I have not seen him take a mid-level team talent-wise and lead them to bigger things (though I'd like to have any cases of that pointed out).

Chuck Herron?? Tech '85

that second half collapse was sad, but what made me angry was that it did  
not make BC or the players angry, they were playing without passion, maybe we  
need to get Fitz in there.

. . .  the more we lose basketball games.  That old bugaboo resurfaced today 
in  State College before an unenthusiastic, Rose Bowl-riddled crowd.  We got  
flat-out hammered on the boards by a lower-level Big 10 team.  Even Penn  
State's star guard pulled down twelve boards, likely more than our entire  front 

line.  Sad to say, but Crowley is proving useless.  Maybe  he'll contribute 
someday, but right now he can't score, rebound, or play  defense.  His only big 
numbers are in his foul totals.  Shurna  looked very good today, but unless he, 
Coble, and Moore score big, we'll have  a tough time winning.  This loss does 
not bode well for the Mudville Five  for the remainder of the  season.
