Just not sure how you could dislike a guy for doing that. It was a joke because the players have been wanting him to do that for while since he did it a few times at Nevada.

About the worst you could say about Musselman is he is too goofy and cringe at times but the players enjoy it so w/e.

Can't decide if FSU is this good or Virginia this bad.

33-13 so far.

I think he is a good coach and good recruiter, just not a fan of his antics. Also him storming off the court when we beat you guys earlier in the year didn't sit right with me either.

Cringe is a good way to put it.

Virginia is a bit overrated probably.

Their second best win of the season might be against 12-7 North Carolina.

FSU looks great this game. The only other game I've seen of their was vs Clemson, Clemson beat them by more than 10.

FSU has some good players, they will probably be dangerous in the tournament.

I think Virginia is a bit overrated, they definitely aren't a top 10 team but they aren't as bad as they look tonight.

Virginia is pretty much their usual selves. Fantastic defense, efficient offense, slowest team in the country. Problem is that if you play at that pace it's really difficult to gut out wins if you are playing poorly on one or both ends.

Don't remember that but I could understand that. He is the first to admit he is a sore loser but always has shown respect to the opposition from what I have seen.

I just will never knock a coach for having some fun with his players. If he was doing this unironically because he thought he was cool, it would be a little different. He acknowledges how goofy he is in press conferences.

It can really come off that way, same with his recruiting trip pictures but players/recruits seem to love it so I'm cool with it.

The thing that is interesting about this version of Virginia is they rely on 3s way more than they have in the past.

Which really exacerbates things if they're not hitting the shots. If you cut the number possessions down as much as possible you really, really have to make them count.

If I have to hear him say Kehei Clark one more time, I'm going to lose it.
