I know there are others, but this one sticks out to me because it shows the disdain Self has for how Remy plays. The irrational confidence type guys that shoot anywhere anytime and don't always play to the system. If this is what he is saying about Remy during the tournament when he was basically our MVP, I don't know how they would have survived each other over 35 games.
I remember one time Remy was excited and smiling and goes up to coach kinda like putting his arm around him and coach rolled his eyes and seemed mad. Remy always had a good attitude that I could see so I dont know what the deal was there. I think Coach questioned his toughness because he wouldn't play through a a stress fracture pain or knee pain whatever it was. [Reply]

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.
This is exactly what I'm curious about. I know as a middle school teacher that my tone of voice has a different affect now than it had 15 or 20 years ago.
Didn't have time to watch the 2nd half last night, but skipped through some of it earlier.... saw Dickinson hustle up the court and get a +1 and imagined a lightbulb going off.... ah, THAT'S what happens when I run up court!:-)
Seriously though, the entire team got in on it... crazy what happens when you drive to the basket. [Reply]

Or play defense. They allowed 13 points the entire half. It was their best defensive half in almost 12 years.
This team doesn’t have an identity yet but if it’s ever gonna have one it’s going to have to be on the defensive end (particularly as long as KJ is starting games). [Reply]
