Rumble In The Garden

My biggest criticism of Coach Lavin is that I believe his optimism and positivity allows the players to take it easy a bit too much. They don't feel a sense of urgency until it is truly urgent (season-wise as well as within individual games). I think Dunlap was the guy who didn't allow that to happen in the past. Did targeting February as the time they would gel allow the team to slack off until then? Next year, he should demand results from day one.

Respect what you said, but since we pay Lav over 2M a year, shouldn't he know that already? Not looking for Father Flanagan, just a strong, results oriented coach.

I support Lavin and do not want to see him fired. Having said that, I do think your critique is well said and well founded. Can't argue with what you say.

Can't disagree...there needs to be minimum on court standards that the players, as individuals, must meet and exceed -- otherwise ride the pine
