“We work our butts off everyday at practice four or five times at week. On and off the field, watching film and everything to. Everyone of the past three games I thought we were really prepared for, we just did not go out there and execute.”
It really kicks me in the gut to see players blaming themselves like this. I'm sure they've heard BC tell the media that they just didn't execute often enough that they believe it. I think they do execute a poor game plan and poorly-coached techniques well. If you teach people to perform badly and teach it well, they will go out an look like the biggest incompetents in the world. So, IMHO, they are doing exactly what they've been taught. They're great players, but they don't come in from HS knowing how to be perfect players at this level, so they have to learn whatever they're taught. Of *course* it makes sense to them and seem like it ought to work-- it's the only thing they've been taught. So, yeah, I hate to see them pile on themselves like this
