RE: 2nd weekend upcoming of Belt b-ball play: Thur 1/4 and Sat 1/6
Pretty wild postgame interview out of Mike Balado tonight:

"I made a commitment to Terry Mohajir when I was hired here that I was going to rebuild this program the right way. I did not come here and commit to this university, just to find some other job to take the next year. I will not sacrifice my morals or integrity to produce a few extra wins on the basketball court. It does absolutely nothing to help these young men as they go further in life. I have said since I got here that we were going to build a championship winning team at Arkansas State. The last 3 days of practice and tonight's game was not an example of a team building towards a championship." I am a competitor, and I want to win every time we take the floor, but if we have to take a few losses like this to show everyone that we are serious about the process, so be it. They will pay off in the long run.

"I don't know who that team was who took the floor tonight, but it was not the Arkansas State basketball team." "I want every single recruit to hear this right now, if you do not plan to give 100 percent effort every single day you are a part of this program, you will not play" "If you do not live up to the high standards required of someone wearing an Arkansas State jersey, you will not play." "I told our players tonight to get back to the hotel and take a long look in the mirror and determine if they are going to be 100 percent invested in helping build a championship winning program and let me know, because if they expect to start every game and play regularly, they have to be all in"

"I told our players from the beginning that I will accept full responsibility for every loss and give credit to the players for every win. I accept full and complete responsibility for what happened tonight."

And with that, he stomped off, without saying another word.
