“This is a group of tremendous young men who have great futures ahead of them,” Boyle said in a release from USA Basketball. “It’s my job as a coach to get buy-in, and I just couldn’t get buy-in at the defensive end of the floor. We had a short period of time to gel offensively which is why you have to rely on your defense and taking care of the ball. Tonight, we wanted to control the offensive glass and we didn’t, and combine that with 21 turnovers and number of possessions heavily favoring Turkey, we just weren’t good enough.”
Tad's post-game quote is eerily reminiscent of what we heard a number of times last season - that he was unable effectively motivate the players to get buy-in. Are the younger generation of players not responding to him and/or his coaching style? not to over-react but this pattern is not encouraging to me.
