This is what Ratino said on the news tnight about his team...I know some of it is coachspeak to motivate players, but I wonder if he realizes he recruited these physically, emotionally, weak basketball players??? Take a little credit for you mistakes egorick!
They're weak physically, emotionally, and basketball wise!
- Thread starter How Blue Can You Get?
- Start date
just cracks me up how he always berates and throws his players under the bus, but never, and I mean never, puts any blame on himself.
I'll give Rick a pass on being physically strong since he's close to 70 years old. Emotionally strong? Married MEN, know not to have sex with a ****** ***** on a restaurant table. Basketball wise? If your team is within 2 points of any Rick team with a minute to go, you are probably going to win. Statistically speaking.
Regardless of how painful and frightening it must be, Rick should look in a mirror sometime before he speaks.

Maybe CRAP is subtly trying to point out to Harrell that he always disappears when faced with an opponent with a strong interior defense. He can flex all day on inferior opponents, but doesn't have the skill to overcome players of the same size, physicality and talent.
Rick may be on thinice here,some of his team may not respond well to that.One or two might go off the reservation.
He sure didn't get to flex and pose much against UNC, actually did not see any but I was watching our game so really no clue. He only got to get animated one time during our game when he blocked a shot coming from the weak side. I mean it is afterall a great feat to block another players shot when they don't even see you coming.
Anyway with Va tech being extremely small, you can bet it will be a flex and pose free for all and staring down of any players that is within 5 feet of him when he goes for an uncontested dunk. Terrance Jones was crucified by UofL fans for his animated play and Jones was nowhere in the same stratosphere as Harrell and his antics. Jones was a Thug and Harrell just plays with passion and pride for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back.
So glad we shut that *ss clown down. Nothing personal against the kid but damn watching him stare down a 6 foot guard that is 5 feet behind him on an alley oop dunk is just a bit much.
