It's amazing to me that coaches put up with him. He glorifies a few of them, but so often he's second guessing what the coach "ought" to be doing. It's laughable when he says coach shouldn't be doing thus-and-so and before he even finished his sentence, they hit a 3-pointer, steal the opponents inbounds pass and hit another 3-pointer all within about 4 seconds.

"That coach really gave them a talking-to at half-time. Just look at the energy they're putting into their whole game." (As the players throw up miss after miss after miss).

"Boy, Kentucky is just going to kill everybody this year, this is their year. THey've got X number of starters returning and then they've got Whozits with a 98% shooting averate, and they're just going after everyone with such gusto. I don't think NC has a chance against them this year." Kentucky lost this one by a very solid margin.

What a dork!
