Probably should fire Boals. Teams aren't allowed to have bad games, especially when they have a 75% new roster. Their players all suck too.

In my mind, their identity has to go back to the intense tenacity (they need to get IT!) of Oats era teams. This shows up mostly on the defensive end but does impact the offensive side too. I think we have seen glimpses of this during this season, but it needs to be consistent game in and game out. Recall that Whitesell did get to the MAC championship in year two on the strength of solid d and underperformed expectations due to regressing on d last year. Edit: to add a corollary. The team needs to know their SHIT. Steals Happen : Intense Tenacity (Opponents) Shots Hard: Intense Tenacity Secure Handling: Intense Tenacity (Own) Second Half: Intense Tenacity Ok maybe I will be the only one who thinks this is clever...but you guys are free to ignore (but no mocking please 😳)
