I think a dirty little secret is that the guys under Cal weren't nearly as injured as he made them out to be. I think the problem was that he was trying to minimize exposure that might damage their draft stock, and was dealing with crap from kids he made promises to but "couldn't hide any longer".
Yeah. There is going to be that uncomfortable adolescent period for a while. During which I really hope we can out-heart and out-range Duke among some other opponents we have to face in there. But come maybe early February when we've started to get a pretty good handle on what Coach Pope more or less talks about as ~"the stuff that's not guardable," I pity the team who has to face that with the tools any other team has demonstrated this early season. (Or even their projected ceilings for the most part.)
I’m with you. Can’t believe I was actually yelling at them already for not rebounding, during an exhibition game. I’m tired of yelling.
