[QUOTE="forensicbuzz, post: 539348, member: 198"] I knew what I was going to see when I came to this thread this morning. "Whoa is me...!" "We suck" " coaches can't coach" " we can't shoot" blah, blah, blah. Compare the comments after this game to the comments after the Notre Dame game or the Syracuse game and you see the tale of two sides. If we win and play scrappily, then the comments are positive, we're turning the corner, the coaches are finally getting it. When we lose, especially if we look bad doing it (a la UNC or UL), the sky is falling. Truth is we're a mid-level skilled team (for ACC) that is still relatively young in their top skilled players. We don't have those top level shooters, with all-around games yet. We have young players who are learning to scrap for everything they get. They make mistakes on both ends of the court that hurt their chances to win. But their effort has been tremendous. Sometimes the other team is not just more talented, they're "on" as well. We're getting better, one step at a time. These guys are growing up and progressing. I expect next year we'll be better and the following year we will be competing for the top half of the ACC. I look at Wright, Cole, CGB, and I see huge improvements from last year. I look at our freshmen and see an capacity for excellent play with a little more time. I get frustrated when we play poorly, can't finish lay-ups, and can't shoot outside shots with any regularity. I get frustrated too when we go on scoring droughts. But in the end, these guys are still relatively young in the overall scheme of things, and I have the patience to wait and see. There have been times every games that it appears the coaches are falling asleep with offensive strategy. But, I'm confident that our coaches know much more about our players and game strategy than I ever will, so I'm going to let them do their job. Just my turn to vent. Thanks for reading. [/QUOTE]
