RE: Huggins

[dfairchild]

I'm not sure what "out coached" means.  I had been thinking something
completely different about Huggins' coaching.  The team's better performance
in the 2nd half of games suggests to me that the team is making better
adjustments.  Last year, it was the complete reverse - other teams were
making better adjustments (we typically had a better 1st half than 2nd).  In
terms of Huggins I was thinking that this team must be better at listening
and executing than last year's team was.  However, rather than locate the
change in the ability of team, I figured most people would start saying
Huggins was coaching better.

I was really surprised to see Don say that Huggins was outcoached!

One of the biggest changes between the halves was UC ability to rebound.  I
can't find the stats, but it seemed like Hicks just dominated the boards in
the 2nd half.

Go Cats!

Also, I noticed he was unusually positive and upbeat in his post-game
interview after the Purdue game. Is he turning a new leaf?
