I guess he could not say anything and let them continue to just stand around and be lazy I guess. [Reply]

Self’s adjustment to press them sped ASU up and ultimately completely tired them out midway through that half. They were cooked once that happened.
I’d like to see that approach in other games if we are going to keep playing this many players. [Reply]

Storr didn't play at all the 2nd half. We win game going away. Bill Self has has enough of Storr. I don't blame him. He doesn't know how to play basketball. [Reply]

He’s being cut out of the rotation with Moore back and he should be. [Reply]

It doesn't work on Patrick Mahomes. Eric Bieniemy tried it after the fuck up at the end of the half of the Cincinnati AFC Championship game loss. Pat came out and played the worst half of his life. [Reply]

It was that but also the effort level went up a lot. [Reply]

I don't know for sure either, but I see it said in this thread a lot. We know he yells on the sideline.
Whatever, let's be happy they turned it around.
Devils advocate. It works for the other Hurley at UConn. He seems like a yeller. Bill is really good with relationships so I think if anyone can get away with it in this day and age its him.
I never took much to yellers when I played basketball. If you told me I did something well I'll do it great every single time in the future. If you be a dick I probably just won't listen to you out of spite. [Reply]

Had a coach in high school who was just such an utter fuckhead... we were running drills and it was my turn in the rotation, coach hands me the ball, bounce the ball once off the floor to get myself started. "Nice fucking dribble! Gimme the ball and get the fuck outta there! If you're not gonna run the drill right, you don't need to be in there!" Seriously dude? I've never wanted to cunt punch someone more in my life. [Reply]

I don't know honestly. They sure seemed to play a lot better with more energy in the 2nd half, and that's what we all want. Along with the almost 20 point win. [Reply]
