In coaching news, Isaiah Thomas is an idiot. And I'm really not the only one who thinks so: http://cbs.sportsline.com/nba/story/9950045. What kind of coach actually SAYS, "There is no strategy for being down 29-3."? What do you mean there's no strategy? Were the Tennessee women not down 19-0 against Dook just the other night (and down by as much as 21) only to come back and tie the game and eventually have a shot at winning? Didn't that stupid 2001 Dook team come back on Maryland... twice in 2001 (once in January, where Maryland gave up a 10-point lead in the last 54 seconds; and again in March, when it counted, as Battier & company staged a 22-point comeback, earning a trip to the final & their 3rd national championship)? And, FYI, in case you didn't know, in the Penn/Princeton game in February '99, Princeton trailed 29-3 (sound familiar?) before coming back to win the game. Anyway, my point is... evidently SOME coaches (two of them, Summit & Krzyzewski, considered the best of the best coaches that perhaps you, Isaiah, should try to learn something from) really DO believe there is a strategy for being down 29-3. And, by the way, it doesn't involve throwing in the towel and asking your players to teach the other team a lesson by going for a hard foul, getting involved in a brawl, blaming the other team and coach (another world-class one, mind you) for said brawl, and basically shirking all responsibility and CLASS in the process.
So, those of you doing what you're doing that is helping keep Carolina in their winning ways, way to go. Keep on doing it. :)
To be continued tomorrow when we pick right back up where we left off... (well, not really this, but another conversation of just-as-paramount importance, I'm sure)!
New readers... who maybe happened to stumble across my little corner of the blogosphere... don't forget to shut the door. ;)
