OK, I've seen at least two people mention that Rod Grizzard was one of their favorite players. Just...how? He was a selfish player that took terrible shots his whole career. It's not too hard to score 20+ points in a college game when you shoot it every time you touch it. I couldn't stand watching him play.

That was the main reason I thought Gottfried sucked. We had talent. It was so frustrating to watch us play because we always had good players. He had no idea about how to motivate. He really knew nothing about an offense that could score in the halfcourt or team defense. We couldn't break a press and our team defense was bad too. We won games because we had superior talent. Many of our guys regressed throughout their careers and Grizzard was no exception.

Things are probably worse right now. Grant said he wanted to build a team that was fast-paced, played great full court pressing defense, and that did things the right way. I give him credit for trying to do things the right way. I respect him. The fact of he matter is he hasn't kept up his end of the bargain. He hasn't kept his promises to his recruits. This team does not play the style he wanted to play. We don't have any quality bigs. We play guys that I don't think that could play well for UAH. We don't press with any sort of effectiveness. We struggle breaking a press. We slow it down so it is hard for teams to blow us out. And it's not like the SEC is a bunch of world eaters right now either. Most of the teams pretty much suck.

Because I was a kid, I liked the way he shot the ball, and I found him exciting. Deal with it, pal.
