Maine coach Richard Barron’s keys to the game: “We need to play with energy and enthusiasm. We have to exhibit good ball movement and player movement and have good team rebounding on both sides of the court.”
How general can one be? We pay these coaches good money and this is all we get?
Give it time… Real good players but still young. Look at the number of frosh starters.
