Changes in store
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A month ago, Tech blew a late 10-point lead at N.C. State and lost in overtime. Frustrating, sure.
But Saturday’s 86-65 home loss to the Wolfpack was downright embarrassing. The Jackets are 1-10 in the ACC and heading to Winston-Salem, where the Demon Deacons will be looking for revenge.
After Saturday’s debacle, CPH said he’s learned a lot from this dismal season. He promised he’ll do some things “differently and better because of this experience.”
He declined to elaborate on what changes are in store.
We know CPH isn’t going anywhere. So how would you prioritize the changes that are needed?
While Saturday’s effort was inconsistent at best, effort has not usually been an issue.
“I will give them a lot of credit for despite all the setbacks and not having something to celebrate, they’ve been working very hard,” CPH said. “I give them credit for that. They try to execute things. As I said the other day when somebody asked me about the 3-point shooting, they’re not trying to miss the shots. They didn’t try to miss the layups (Saturday).”
He later reiterated how appreciative he is for the support he’s getting from the administration and fans (though I realize some of you are not among those supporters). And he added:
“I don’t want to put this school through this ever again.”
