As I sat and watched the quarterfinal games (all of them) why is it that the 2 coaches(radebaugh & gee), who are the most vocal of any regarding their religion, spirituality, beliefs, or holier than tho attitude have the most drama or get the most emotional after or during games? (btw if Radebaugh doesn't win an NIT game he still hasn't won 20 in his 10 yrs at CSU)
I mean did anyone see the after game stuff or near end that I did?? almost a brawl. barclay acts like someone stole his favorite toy, Gee acts like a moron most anytime, but especially after they won. then they give each other a fake hug and chat. I'm sure i know what it was about (the dunk) but I wasn't in the handshake line so i don't know.
anyways -- respect to Tim Craft for being cool hand Luke, Nick mcDevitt for never shedding a stress sweat at all, mike jones is always gracious every year he loses in the first round, cliff does a good composed job.
LU needs to find a Tim Craft type demeanor wise.
That was a wild scene. Afterward, Jayson took some responsibility for it, saying it was both teams being competitive, heat of the moment, etc., etc., that his team needed to conduct itself better. Barclay, in a passive aggressive way, talked about how his team conducted itself with class and then refused to comment on the skirmish. So he basically said it was Longwood's fault, which is BS. Both teams were yapping all day long, and Nimley was as bad of an offender as anyone. I don't know what it is about the acoustics of that gym, but you can hear EVERYTHING on press row, much more so than at the Vines. Something about the walls amplifies things. Anyway, Saah was out there dropping f-bomb after f-bomb, to the refs, to Quincy Taylor, to his teammates. At one point, he yelled "Get in the f****ng game!" to Cedrick Bowen, and and when Ced didn't hear him, he repeated himself. Paul Gombwer nearly came to blows with Aaron Wheeler after a foul. Those guys melted down spectacularly. It's part of the beauty of watching a one-bid tournament. The raw emotion is incredible.
It goes back to the fact that the people that really know things, knows Radebaugh is a fraud. Plays the religion thing to a tee. Feel sorry for us we have a small gym, blah blah blah. Our kids go to bible study, blah blah.
Liberty hire someone real - that just does the right thing, acts the right way, knows how to be gracious and humble, but at the same time will cut your heart out to win!!
Hire Bob McKillop!!! (or find someone like him)
