[Tugg Speedman]

Wow, did he unload on his team?

He really gets worked up around 1:30, almost (but not quite) Bobby Knight-ish

Best quotes

I’ve been telling my wife this for years, size doesn’t matter.” … He was talking rebounds, but still

“Our guards are awful. Our three starting guards had one assist and seven turnovers. They must think it’s a tax credit. IT’S UNBELIEVABLE HOW OUR STARTING GUARDS PLAYED. “

“My wife…MY WIFE…can score more than two buckets on 11 shots because I KNOW my wife will AT LEAST SHOT FAKE one time.”

“There was a sniper in the gym. Didn’t you see that? We had guys falling down. We had a guy snipered at half-court. Two guys snipered at half-court. It was unbelievable. I would’ve thought Navy Seal Team 6 was out there.”

“I mean, you saw how we turned the ball over. We made three turnovers tonight where we just came down and threw them the ball. I swear, I thought one time that one of our players said, ‘Merry Christmas.’ I thought it was a gift. I thought they signed the package over.”

That made me laugh.

Fun fact, Barry Hinson's brother was my manager at an internship in college.  Grizzled throwback trader, always with a dip in.  Seeing this clip and remembering how he used to ramble about stuff at times, not entirely surprising the family similarities.

Spectacular!

Can you imagine what this guy would have had to say about our guards after OSU and Wisconsin? Wow!

Another AD trying to make public comments to straighten out his coach.  The horror

""I know he's a good man,'' Moccia said. "But he can have these Yosemite Sam bombastic outbursts.''"
