What’s the TL;DR version?

[HoosierinUt]

the tl:dr version is that the team:

1) lacked leadership all year long
2) that Coach K wants leadership in a form other than leading the team in scoring (nice jab at Kuzma there Coach K)
3) that Kuzma is sick of hearing about leadership
4) that the style of play was not the style Coach K claims he wants…..”too flashy” and “disrespectful of the game” leads to all of the turnovers…all season long

Okay Coach K, then if that isn’t the style then fix it. You are the coach after all.

Amen.

I’ve been incredibly disappointed to hear him keep whining about what the players are or aren’t doing. You’re getting paid a truckload of money to be the boss. So be the damn boss.

Not sure what is going through Krystko’s mind with comments like that. When I read Kuz saying “Honestly, I don’t really want to hear the leadership thing,” to me that says that he knows/feels that his coach is throwing him under the bus. It smacks of alienating your best player. That is just not smart and not productive. Very disappointing, you can not blame the players, you have to own their failures if you intend to own their success. And in point of fact, if you are a good leader you own their failures but you credit their successes. That is how you get them not to lay down and quit on you against the f**king tater zoobs in the NIT. Jesus what a bitter taste to end the season with.

This was even worse than football IMHO.
