To me he did not look much different on the bench than he usually does. Ultra competitve is a potivite trate. Self desrtuctive is not.

I have to wonder if he is just dessparate to win, or if is trying to prove himself in the shadow of his father. Or worse, the proximity of his brother.

Sean does need to take a rest. But resting up will be useless if doesn't take time to look at what he's doing to himself. He might just become a better coach if he's honest with himself about the pressure he may be putting on himself. Is he comparing his accomplishments to thsoe of family members. Maybe not on the bench last night, but at other times that ought to be non basketball or family time, or just prep time for games, or reflecting on games after they're over.

I agree that Sean needs to make getting well a priority.Having a sick coach is not a asset for our OSU's struggling basketball team.Even though I have been disappointed in the team's season I believe that they are capable of making a turnaround.In some areas they already are improved...like freethrow shooting in the recent bedlam game.One area that I believe that needs improving ,is in their mindset about winning on the road and winning in general..Their is no reason why our team cannot win on the road or just win period.But until the team gets it out of their heads that they cannot win elsewhere other than at home ,they will not.If you do not believe you can win ,it becomes a self fulfilling prophesy and you will find a way to lose ,like we have been. I believe, though, that their are better days ahead for our team.Go Pokes.
