He need not go Mangino on his players, but something needs to be done to increase our intensity out there on the court.
Where is the fire? I'd rather McDermott go Eustachy-like and get a technical once in a while or even ejected than to be Mr. Calm all of the time. There were a lot of Dendy-like shots the whole game, when one guard passes to the top of the key, that player catches it, has the opportunity to pass immediate to the other wing to swing it around quickly, but instead holds it, asks for a ball screen, then dribbles around to no avail.
We are not tough. We do not make the extra pass often enough. We miss too many point blank shots (Garrett missed a wide open layup the first half, wide open) and we were out rebounded and out hustled.
