re: The national opinion on Haith.

I'm not sure the in game coaching was all that different last year. We just had better players to finish games. We could have easily lost the game at Baylor, at Texas, at home versus kU and a couple of others.

When Haith talks in interviews, it's a whole different level of interaction with basketball than <ahem> previous coaches. I think he really knows the game.

Haith didn't throw the ball into the stands versus A&M, etc etc etc ad nauseam. Players execute. In short, he probably got a little too much credit last year and a little too much blame for this year.
