Coach Staley. August 26, 2022
“There has to be a fearlessness to play in this game, and what I wanted to establish was that. The history of this team when I got here, it was like someone's going to get hurt, they're going to blow a lead, something catastrophic is going to happen. There's this 'Chargering' thing. There's all of these external factors that I know in my life, they're just all excuses. They're just all excuses.
"And so, how do you change that? Well, you have to do things different, you have to have a different approach. … Our mindset's going to be on us, it's not going to be on the opponent. It's going to be on us. So creating that fearless mindset of, we are going to be aggressive, we're going to put the ball in our hands, we're going to trust our guys to make plays.
“"If we lose, we're going to do it on our terms, not someone else's terms."
Staley is one load of something. Does any player really buy into this?
Those 12 remaining fans?
Spanni boys and Telescope are huge anchors.
It will never change. Maybe, hopefully, just get funnier.
