His defensive teachings aren't doing to well. The past two years under Benford have not only been bad record wise. It's the only two times in the last nine seasons where the average points per game was negative.

It's a new year and new players. Benford can and will turn it around. Obviously if he does not then he ends to go. I have faith in him to turn it around. Could be wrong but who knows. It's my favorite time of the year when basketball season begins so I am really looking forward to it!

I needed a good laugh, thanks!

Damn. Looks like he is serious. 5-3 at the end of the 1st according to the scoreboard.

"OK fellas, the best defensive strategy is a good substitution strategy. Let's practice getting off the bench, and immediately sitting back down."

Unfortunately the score was 3-5 so we still have some work to do.
