Besides the obvious differences in talent and coaching, I was struck by how different the attitudes are of the team and Coach K. When they call timeout, the players run to the sideline and are high fiving. Our guys walk slowly like they are going to the principal's office and barely acknowledge one another. Coach K is up off the bench calling plays and into the game. Stansbury is in a coma.
The last straw for me yesterday was right before half time when the score was 27-26 Bama and we had the ball with 24 seconds to play. Does Rick call timeout and set up a play to take the lead going into halftime? Hell no. Dee takes a shot with 5 seconds left and Bama rebounds and calls timeout to draw up a play which nearly scores if not for a no call against Sidney at the buzzer. Stealing money I tell ya.
