He was speaking about his current St. Louis team. See what parallels you can to Pel's situation, or that of any new coach:

"I realize the position I'm in here now: These guys didn't pick me; I didn't pick them. We're in each other's worlds, and we're looking at each other, like..." (He shrugs) "It is what it is. I like these kids, they're really nice kids. I would like any one of them as a son."

good quote. provides a little perspective, which we all need.

as i said earlier--i can be patient with pel, it's razorback bb that i'm running out of patience with. 1996, the last time we got out of the first weekend. that's way too long ago.
Hoping the Hogs basketball fortunes change for the better this season.

BTW...on Majerus...you gotta love a coach who will whip his dick out in practice to give his players a frame of reference for the proper 6" distance used by a defender when his opponent catches the ball in the post.

Surely that didn't actually happen, but I've heard some crazy stuff about the man...

(edit: apparently it did, thanks google for that mental image)

That's nothing. One time during a particularly disappointing stretch for the Indiana Hoosiers, Bobby Knight came out of the locker room bathroom with pants around his ankles and carrying a handful of toilet paper smeared in sh*t.  He held up the toilet paper for all to see and said, "This is what y'all are playing like."

You didn't do an image search, did you?    That's disturbing in its own right.
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

Damn I'm glad I didn't have to see that.

So I wonder if Hootie uses the same technique to show his defensive backs how to maintain a two-inch distance between themselves and the people they're covering?

I have been on both sides of that equation. Just work as hard as you can and never give up.

Actully his Dbacs never got that close to the guys they were covering he was using it to teach his receivers how much seperation to get on pass routes.

Sounds a lot like the situation Pel is in. I would expect Majerus to equal or better the results from the year before as long as he didn't lose too much talent.

Interesting and accurate.  This team sure plays like they don't care.
