Blame the coach, typical.
Look, I'm not a fan of Dave either but basketball is a game of runs. I knew the Jacks were going to make their run and they did. We ran some clock with our lead and lost some of our aggressiveness offensively. It wasn't a bad strategy. Jacks got back in the game at the FT line. If we would have stayed aggressive and missed shots early in the possessions people would bitch about that too.
I spent a decade coaching this game. Any time I lost a close one I would 2nd guess myself. That's typical but the fact is, if our players made their free throws or if Jenkins prayer clanged off the backboard we wouldn't be having this discussion.
That being said, I don't think Dave is the answer but give him credit where credit is due. This team is playing hard and with energy, they don't turn the ball over as much and they rebound. A huge improvement from last year.
