...any one else give a durn about the fact our team walks off the court before the game is even over at the end of every loss?
It started with the Miami game. The Miami player looked at our player guarding him and could not believe our guy was just quitting. He thought about sprinting to the basket as our whole team walked off the court but held up out of I suppose sportsmanship.
At first I thought it was going to be a one-off, and that Gott would address it, but they did it at UNC, at BC, and today. I did not see the end of the GT and Wake games.
I remember on a thread last year someone on here got ticked off at a player trying to steal the ball from Barbour at the end of the game when we were leading. That it was bad sportsmanship to play until the whistle blows. I remember thinking, heck, isn't that what you would want a player to do?
We had a coach in the past who preached to "never give up. Don't ever give up."
And now we have players walking off the court 10 seconds before the game is over. Go back and look at the end of today's game.
I wish the Louisville player today would have just taken it the basket and slammed it through while our guys were walking to the bench to send a message to this coach and players.
Sad thing is I seriously doubt our coach cares, because this behavior should have been nipped in the bud way back.
