Re: Don't stop with Pitino

["Berry, Mark S" <berrym@BATTELLE.ORG>]

Joe, you just had to see it. It wasn't just open jumpers. It was no effort
in denying penetration. It was half-hearted man-to-man defense, it was
careless turnovers (you have no idea just how careless), it was selfish
offense. It was everything, and it was miserable. Pitino is guilty, but so
are the players. I don't know how they can call themselves professionals.
They talk about wanting to win, but they don't want to work hard to make it
happen. Defense is hard work. Rebounding is hard work. Moving without the
ball is hard work. This team acts like it's allergic to it.

I wish I had taped the game Joe, because I'd send you a tape and let you see
for yourself. This wasn't a "system" loss. This was a surrender. It was
awful.
