Moon is such a nice guy he decided to let the 89 year old broadcaster have his greatest ever moment. I smell extension!

Mooney has been very good at giving away "greatest ever moments", career records, and all time records.

"It's physical in there, you have to do your best. When you're outsized, you're going to give up a few of those for sure. But you really need to come up with your fair share of them to be able to milk the game away."
Perfect encapsulation of Mooney's thought process with a lead. No foot on the gas, blow them out, dominate, etc. He was trying to run out the clock from the 10 minute mark of the first half.
We all know this is how he coaches, just sobering to see him so plainly state it as well.

thought I'd never root against the Spiders, but when Duquesne cut it to 10 I was all in. nobody on either side would be happy if we won that game.
that crowd got a great memory. I was happy for Dixon. I thought it was classy when seniors Walz and Dixon acknowledged each other in the celebration. and we absolutely deserved to lose.
not sure I can muster up the energy to root for us Wednesday either. one and done would be merciful.

The Mooney Effect.
"It's physical". No kidding. Basketball is a physical game. How about trying to get a style of play and players in here to match a team's physical play. But, no, instead of that, we "do our best".
"When you're outsized.....". I have an idea. We have a 15 man roster. Get a team with more size. Or, again, change the style of play that isn't working. Even when Beagle was healthy, we never played Beagle with Walz. We have a forward with size in Daughtry who doesn't start, and we have an athletic JROB with some size who plays very little, while we are starting 4 guards, yet we hear "we are undersized".
"Milk the game away". How about we go take the game. Go win the game. Mooney starts trying to "milk the game away" way too early. This is one of the reasons why we blow so many leads down the stretch, and even when we do win, we seem to hang on and survive in a stressful ending when it doesn't have to be.
Mooney's comments continue to piss me off as much as the losses. Actually more now, because I have gotten to where I don't care about wins and losses right now. Once our OOC schedule came out, did these games even matter?
