<Am I 100% off-base on this confidence gap [on Bill Carmody]?

Careful, señor Herron, or the gang will label you a rogue.

There is nothing wrong with Bill Carmody's 2010 basketball team that a good 
center and/or power forward wouldn't cure.  He has amassed sufficient 
backcourt and small forward talent and coached them well enough to win some 
games, stay close in most others, and frustrate us all with one close loss 
after another.  Averaging a few more points of put-backs and preventing a 
few on defense would have us in the running for the Big Ten crown this 
season.  We're sure not going to shoot 50% from the three-stripe very often, 
and our baseline defense doesn't scare anyone who goes inside.  However much 
folks here hate hearing about our front line woes, it's true.  I guess Jack 
Nicholson was right after all.
