Yes. You do. Literally.
Lol you're making me dizzy. First you say I do, then you say nobody said that, now you say I do. Literally. Check the tOSU game thread. If you're talking about the Maryland game, yeah I absolutely called them out for giving up a 17-point in the last 3 minutes of a game they dominated to let the other team get it into OT. Choking away a lead like that late shouldn't be celebrated.

Your schtick is when things don't go as you'd like, it's always because Jan is a lousy coach who needs to chew player's azzes more because they're lazy and coddled. When others tell you that you don't know what you're talking about (which you don't) you tell them that there's nothing wrong with chewing players azzes. What you fail to recognize is that no one on here has argued that a coach shouldn't ever get on a player. What they are arguing is that this ideation of yours that insufficient azz chewing and lazy players is behind every problem or stretch of poor play is a weak argument, or in other words, intellectually lazy.

I never called out JJ for not "chewing players azzes". Lol. Now you're just making stuff up.

You're the one who seems angry here. Lol.

Correct. That term was used by someone else. So what are you referring to here exactly? Are you referring to Jan or fans that should be calling out the players when they aren't performing well?

Lol, wow, so some of you just think getting after your players for failing to play as well as they're capable of playing late is out of bounds. Got it. Lol.

If you think college-aged athletes are too precious to be called out for underperforming when they're capable of doing better, that's your call. I disagree. I will admit my tone doesn't need to be as harsh as it's been at times and I'll work on that, I just like this team and these coaches and think they're capable of big things. And when they get out into the real world in a few years working in their chosen professions and happen to screw something up, I guarantee you they're going to get called out and not treated with kid gloves to spare their feelings.

I'm referring to guys like you having a problem with guys like me for calling out players on here when they underperform. I never said anything about coach.

I hear the ignore function works pretty slick, maybe you should use it.

I don't think a senior should be immune to an a$$ chewing once in a while. JJ needs to light a fire under these senior team leaders when they are not playing to their potential. JJ seems to want to be a big sister more than a demanding coach.

How many practices or game huddles have you attended? Waiting.

I don't recall ever seeing Lisa Bluder giving an *** chewing to any player.
Did I miss it?
Again. For those who think that, watch the Fullcourt press documentary. Lisa blistered some asses including Clarks in a couple of halftime rants during that series. The difference is Clark wanted to be "coached". She wanted someone to push her, and she was tough enough and confident enough to take it. Not all players respond to that. Clark herself (as a leader) could be ruthless on her team mates. Some like Syd respected her for it, and some others, like AOG struggled with it.

Jan promised changes. She mentioned more zone defense. That surprised me - I thought I'd hear more man coverage.
