RE: Post-game Comments

[Dan Marshall]

Mike, I'm curious about that comment.

I thought it was Huggs being Hugss of old, you know "We stink, we won't
win, we don't work hard, I don't know if I'll have the energy etc
etc..."

However, I didn't hear him myself, so I was curious, someone on
CUSA-TALK, is convince that huggs is to tired physically, and doesn't
know "If he'll have the energy" to get this team going, and related it
to the heart attack.

Obviously, you heard the show, and to anyone else that did... Was this
just Him being Huggs? Or do you think he really think he needs abreak.

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.
