Re: Bearcats win

[Zahid H. Siddiqi]

I saw that quote from Mick.  But, at this point in the season, the players have learned all they are going to learn.  It's not time to teach lessons about technicals.  His team needed a win.  And by exhausting Sikes and McGowan to the point where they could no longer walk, he nearly cost his team the win, in my opinion.

technicals by players are big no-nos. Maybe he's just saying that, or maybe
anyone would have sat....who knows.
