I like C.B. a lot. I get the collective frustration, and I'm not trying to open a can of worms, but I appreciate his perspective on the game and candor.

He is a likable dude for sure. And he appears to be learning from some of his mistakes, that's positive.

I think that his 7 minute presser last night gave pretty good insight to his defensive mindset, his understanding of our deficiencies, and his preference to play man. In a closer conference game, I think he is willing to zone more, but long-term he wants to rely on solid man-to-man defense.

Interestingly, CofC gave up 78 to Delaware last night. I don't feel like we've turned a corner by any stretch, but there are some positive signs.

I honestly am giving him more of a chance that you might give me credit for. I just hate losing, and lack of progress. And until recently, IMO, we had both. We have some positives to build off recently, hopefully, we keep building.

I think we all know that for the most part. It's been a tough year for all of us as we had 3 years of success we hadn't had for a decade then the start of this season happened. There's going to be frustrations that boil over, attitudes, etc. We don't have a coach to tell us all to shut up and figure it out our differences in our dorm room. We all have slightly differing opinions. We're grown adults. End of the day though, we ALL want whats best for the team, coaches, and university. Like it or not, we're emotionally tied to each other.

There's been some positives. It's a brutally, physical conference. We're probably going to take a few more steps back during the process as the young guys adjust to a style of basketball they've never seen. However, I have faith that McGrath can get the job done.
