Game 11: GMU (5-5) at Georgia (4-5) on Saturday, December 18, at 7PM.

I'm stating obvious, but when the team shares the ball like that this year, they have done really well on the floor. I don't know if they scouted Georgia's defense that well or if they just had a good night, but either way that is very well done. When you take care of the ball and share it like that, you put yourself in position to win a hell of a lot of ballgames.

Really glad to see us cleaning up the turnovers. vcu awaits.

Thanks for posting. Interesting to listen to. Not one bit of credit given to Mason. I understand his focus is his own team but...

Admitting Mason was better in any aspect would be ruinious for his position at Georgia. We already have one big time coaching scalp under our belts this year (Maryland).

He's likely finished at Georgia after this season.

Well if he is going to step down I hope its within 2 weeks of their loss to us - then we can start freaking out other coaches ----> GMU - the coaching career killers.

Isn't there some connection between DP and Crean? Couldn't get revenge for his old buddy?

That win sure was sweet for a lot of reasons.

Right exactly not one comment on us

Yeah, where's the obligatory, "Mason is a good team, they're well coached, they came out with more energy than us" stuff?
No class, Crean.

Is there anywhere I can watch some highlights.

Reminds me of DC United getting Chris Armas fired not once but twice (first time with New York, and then a year later with Toronto). Somehow he parlayed that into an assistant position at one of the biggest clubs in the world (Manchester United).

Was never impressed with Crean. He's a sore loser and a screamer. I do get a kick when the vein in the middle of his forehead starts bulging -- indicating he has completely lost control.

My all-time favorite coach's mad face was Gene Keady.

Frank Martin is another one...though two bouts of Covid may have mellowed him. I haven't watched any of South Carolina's games this season.

If you look at the first linked "other videos" there's a 1:00 highlight reel that's much better.

Reminds me of Bruiser Flint. Squeezes a lot out of his players and they play hard-nosed defense, but burns them out after a while too.

Rick Barnes was supposedly like that early-on in his career until his family had a bit of an intervention w/him.

 

[Yossarian]

I'm with you on Bruiser. He was a walking technical foul. Very entertaining to watch those games.

 

[Quentin Daniels]

I can't see coaches like that lasting much longer. Before they had all the power but w/the transfer portal, kids can now tell a program to F off if the coach is the bullying type.

Some of my favorite pep band memories is from when we used to sit at the end of the opposing team's bench and you could get into it with the players and coaches if they didn't ignore you. Bruiser was always ready to trash talk with us.
