RE: Post-game Comments

[Mike Denman]

At one point he said something like, "I just hope I have the energy to get
these guys doing what they need to do". Scary. Sounds like he thinks the
coaches (including himself) have not done a good job. I think we can all
agree that this team needs a whole bunch more coaching than the previous few
years. I think he's legitimately concerned that he doesn't have the stamina
to work as much as is needed with these guys.

But.... if there's one area where you CANNOT beat Huggins, it's hard work.
We'll see....

I'll try to remember, maybe someone else will fill in or correct where
appropriate.
 Chuck thought Huggs would be pleased with the improved effort.
Huggs said Dayton is a good team with returning players and senior
leadership.
Chuck suggested the 'Cats are young and will improve as the season
progresses. Bob responded with Stokes has been here 4 years, Maxiell got a
lot of minutes last year. The problem isn't the teams inexperence, it's
nobody listens.They don't work hard in practice. The coaches do a great job
of scouting, tell who can and will do what, who only goes certain directions
etc. They hit the floor, the other team does what the scouting report said
they would do and the team doesn't react. I don't mind loosing a game as
long as the effort is there.
Maxiell's first half 2nd foul was dumb. You don't swipe at the ball when you
alrady have 1 foul in under 2 minutes.
Huggs: I accept responsibility for them not being ready. We've got the
Christmas break coming and then their mine. I can't trade them but I can cut
them.
Short turnaround for the Valpo game. UC has handed out more NBA  scout
passes for Valpo then they have for Xaiver on Saturday.
