Tennessee game thread

[ATL MU Warrior]

Wojo just proved why he's a coach and not posting on message boards.  Says to Homer and Mac that Derrick brought up the fact that they were going to start fouling him and Wojo told him to walk to the line and make the shots.  Says some guys need new attitudes and the "Derrick is going to make winning free throws" this year.  That's a coach, not a simple number cruncher.

what an outstanding psychological ploy.

Love it.

Post of the year.

This was the first really decent game we played. Next week will be like the USA playing Russia in the 1980 Olympics. Do you believe in miracles!

He mentioned how there's a few guys that need their minds re-programmed a bit. I'm sure it's not a shot at Buzz on purpose, but I have to wonder how many guy's confidence was shot due to Buzz's mindgames.

Might have to wait awhile, he's coaching today and will watch the game on DVR.

I missed the radio postgame. Thank you for sharing, this is simple brilliance.

That's some great positive reinforcement.  Like it.  However, will be interesting to see when the rubber really hits the road and MU is up only 2 to 6 points in last minute of game - how Wojo chooses to handle that...the cushion today was pretty safe and allowed for a few of those misses.

That's what you learn being around Coach K for all those years.

Honestly, as much as this says about Wojo I think it says more about Derrick. It takes a lot to know your limitations and try to do what you think is best for everyone. For Wojo's part, that's some solid coaching. I like him more every day.
