Title: Doc talk...
Post by: kso_FAN on February 17, 2010, 08:58:47 AM
Never (NEVER) gets old.  I'm glad we don't have to listen to this anymore, but I love hearing it from other coaches.

Quote
“More than anything, they're getting an idea of how difficult and how important each possession is,'' he said. “If you look at our losses for the most part and took six or seven minutes out of it, you'd be looking at a different record.''

The "haggard" Huskers from Omaha World. (http://www.omaha.com/article/20100216/BIGRED/702169814/-1/bigred)

And a lot about "not making open shots".  Another great SLTH program talking point...

Quote
“We’re just not making shots,” sophomore guard Brandon Richardson said, offering the simple explanation behind his team’s offensive struggles.

“We’re taking great shots; they’re just not happening to go in.”

Just missing shots from Lincoln J-S. (http://www.huskerextra.com/articles/2010/02/17/mens_basketball/doc4b7b3d940fd9c153079715.txt)

And some respect for the Cats from up north, plus the great "Doc does such a good job" from the opposition, this time Barnes:

Quote
“Doc is one of the most underrated coaches in the country. Doc has done a phenomenal job. He gets more out of people than anybody I’ve seen.”

Or "Boy, Doc is a horrible recruiter, but he can really coach up lower level players."

Everyone loves Doc. (http://www.huskerextra.com/articles/2010/02/17/mens_basketball/doc4b79e25c89af2076581757.txt)

The classic "we can't fire the SLTH yet" column. (http://www.huskerlocker.com/blogs/view/bid/2677/i/commentary_dont_sack_sadler_era_just_yet/o/0)

Quote
Why? Because Nebraska can’t afford to blow up its program for the third time in ten years. Not on the basis of (potentially) a single losing season. Not with Missouri, Kansas State and, yes, apparently Colorado finding its footing. Let Iowa State do that. Osborne has to see the Sadler era through to a logical end.

Altman was an ok recruiter, but bad X and O coach.

Tom Osborne isn’t going to fire Doc Sadler after this season. So just flush that wish from your mind, even after Nebraska's 91-51 skunking at Texas.

For one thing, he’s Tom Osborne.  

what is that supposed to mean?  Tom Osborne is so smart he has to agree with this brilliant column?

The Huskers are blissfully young, and not quite talented enough to just take over like Texas’ bunch.
not quite but almost ... just maybe one guy like Maric then you'd have talent equal to Texas  :jerk:

I want to see another 2nd half Colorado type game tonight. I don't know if I have ever seen more dunks in a game than the CU game in the OOD on Saturday. We went from looking like the Washington Generals to looking like the Harlem Globetrotters in one game. I hope to make the Nubbs look like the Washington Generals as we Harlem Globetrot all over them tonight.  :excited:

Nothing says "Nebrasketball" like this post. (http://www.huskerlocker.com/forums/viewtopic/tid/993/i/doc_confused_on_why_basketball_team_is_losing)

You know, I don't actively follow basketball. Kudos to the girls and shame on the boys. I haven't watched a single game or paid attention to stats. But it could be a simple fact that these guys just aren't as good at shooting and making baskets as other teams. Simple as that. A lack of the most fundamental and important natural talent that a basketball player should possess to be successful. You know, I played one year in middle school because I was kind of tall and a decent athlete. But I couldn't shoot worth a damn. Needless to say that basketball wasn't the sport for me because of a lack of a basic talent. Sure, you can teach technique and you can practice and that will make you better, but if you don't have it to begin with, you are ultimately doomed.

Kind of like sprinters - some guys are just naturally fast. You can have a guy who is a great athlete, who is not fat or stocky, and you can teach him the correct technique of how to run fast (run on your toes, etc), but some guys will just never be fast.

Of course, I may be talking out my a$$ here in regards to the guys basketball team. Maybe it is all mental like the 2007 Blackshirts.

Pullen was mis-quoted.  I'm sure he meant "we're trying to beat them by 42".  Gotta outdo texas yet again

Logical end = 5 years, 0 NCAA appearances?   :dunno:
