Thanks BeBrave!
I like what Geno claims he and the staff are focusing on in summer workouts.
An element of toughness and shooting fundamentals to be competitive with Valley teams.
He has a good reality of where the team stands heading into next year when talking about scheduling. He wants to play some solid opponents and have a decent SOS to help the league, but wants to get early wins to help instill a winning mindset into the guys, as we are not close to being and At-Large team needing to worry about RPI.
Just some thoughts:
Certainly Braves fans will not tolerate any more seasons like last, and substantial improvements year by year are expected.
Hopefully our guys will take losing hard and have that "hate to lose" mentality. I know that DSE & WL have it, and I'm sure others on the squad do as well.
And I would think Geno will be less tolerant of any 30+ point losses for the upcoming season...regardless of the opponent.
If you play as tough or tougher than the other team, no way should you lose by 30 points, even if you have a rough shooting night.
