Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
@ Smith-Hammond Memorial Center Orangeburg, SC
Tovarich: I'm at a loss. That's a team on paper not much better than us. You'd expect to be competitive and we were for a half. The second half was incredible. Their PG can drive it in the lane and make it against our big guys. Our big guys wouldn't make a layup if a someone in the stands got in their vision. Can't win when you get outshot 65%-40%. Can't get outshot 15-4 at the line. Amazing how they don't foul but everything we do is a foul. Great job by them hitting that 3 at the buzzer. We won't see them the rest of this season unless it's in the MEAC tournament, but I'll remember it. Reporter: What else can you try? Tovarich: We tried some 2-1-2 zone. We'll draw a different set of zone numbers out of a hat and try that. There's not much we can do. We are what we are and we have a lot of weaknesses. Reporter: You're back home now. Does that give you a little more confidence? Tovarich: Can't hurt. We play semi-competently there. Reporter: Are you actually trying to accomplish anything this season or are you just waiting for this one to end so you can move on to next year? Tovarich: The current players can consider this somewhat of a tryout to stay on the roster for next season. I'm doing what I can with what I have, but getting better players isn't as easy as it sounds. There's not much of a draw here for recruits either. This is a very long-term project. In the short term, it's very frustrating, but we're doing the best we can. |

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
@ Lytche Athletic Center Princess Anne, MD
Tovarich: Luckily they only shot a pedestrian 40something percent in the second half. Their 62% in the first half was super human. Amazing for a 2-9 team. It's rough when you have to hit 14 3's to eek out a home game against a team with only 2 wins, but that's life for us. At least we got a win. Reporter: Do you think it was a mistake for them to stop pressing you in the second half? Tovarich: Probably. Maybe they finally got tired. The big guys were about 50%, but I am not understanding their allergy to dunking. They're right under the basket, it's the right there. The basket isn't lava. It's not glowing green from radiation. Yet, instead of dunking, they do all these cute little shots from 2 feet and I can't watch them miss anymore. It's infuriating. The lack of aggression at the basket is why they all need to be replaced. I'd play 5 guards if I had 5 guards and it wouldn't get us killed. Reporter: So what is your ideal style of play when you can morph the roster into something you'll be less fatalistic about? Tovarich: I'd probably like 4 guards and one gigantic Shaq-like center who can grab a rebound, unlike just about everyone on this roster. I'd like to play quickly and get out in transition. I'd like to hockey sub all 5 guys in and out. It's depressing the style of play I feel like we're forced into with lack of personel. Reporter: How important is the next home game before the 4-game road trip? Tovarich: All the home games are important. I have zero faith in us winning one on the road. Gotta get as many at home as we can.

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
@ Lytche Athletic Center Princess Anne, MD
Tovarich: That may be the new ugliest game this year. Abominable shooting. That big guy they have single-handedly out-rebounded us. I'm amazed it was even close since they out-shot us 63-34%. I think we once missed 8 shots in a row. It felt like the basket was playing defense against us too. Reporter: You've had multiple games of just 4 FT's. Is there any motivation to get to the line more? Tovarich: I'd like to, but I guess every other coach is great at teaching interior defense without fouling, and I've reached my quota of missed layups because someone was breathing on them. I'd rather just watched some missed 3's if I have to watch more misses. We often shoot better from out there. Reporter: You didn't really try and zone in that game? Tovarich: They were 0-7 on 3's despite winning easily, so the defense wasn't too bad. We forced them into some turnovers but we just couldn't shoot. |

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
I know the team is bad, but 6-11 is decent for this team.
Any possible recruits that aren't just warm bodies? Maybe that "big Shaq-like" center?

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
@ Gaither Gym Tallahassee, FL
Tovarich: I think a few people in the crowd likely fell asleep during that one. It took some extreme tactics but we stumbled our way into a road win somehow. Reporter: Is it encouraging to get a road win or discouraging because of the strategy you feel you need to get it? Tovarich: It's encouraging that something worked. I know it took some luck. They had 3 chances to take the lead in the last 2 minutes and happened to miss all 3 and it was nice of them to play out the defensive possession with only a 6 second difference on the clock. Reporter: Is full court pressing something you might do more of? Tovarich: We only did it for about 3 minutes. That's about all the stamina the team has for that right now, so don't count on it. Reporter: You stayed in man the entire game, why do you think you forced so many turnovers? Tovarich: Their big guys were a bit clumsy with the ball, so when we double teamed them in the paint, it threw them off a bit and they gave some back to us. Reporter: Does Davis have a red light on shooting 3's yet? Tovarich: Yeah, probably. Their 1-3-1 zone lead to him having some open shots, so he took them. But both PG's are slightly under 25% for the year, so yeah, we need to stick to the other two guards. It'll have to be desperation at the end of the shot clock for them to take one now. Reporter: Tyson has attempted 67 3's more than anyone else in the country. Are you going for some kind of record with him? Tovarich: No idea what the record is, but it's our best bet on many possessions. |

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
@ Moore Gym Daytona Beach, FL
Tovarich: Frustrating ending, but I guess I'm proud we almost overcame the refs and all the other bizarre things that kept happening. Reporter: Would you like to have gotten a technical? Tovarich: Yeah, that would have been great, but it seems like you can't 17-2 FT's and 13-1 fouls was laughable. We weren't allowed to breathe on them. Reporter: Why go to Krleski at the end for the 3 instead of Tyson? Tovarich: Neither were shooting well. Krleski was more open. Not surprised whoever bricked the 3. It's the part where we got the rebound and missing a point blank layup. It all just felt predictable. Reporter: How big was their 16-0 run in the 2nd half? Tovarich: Amazing how we clawed back from 13 down and then the instant we took the lead, it's like they turned into an NBA team all of a sudden and we couldn't score for 12 possessions in a row. I'd love to ask their coach how they just decide to play like that and why they don't do it every game. You'd think they'd be a lot better than 5-14 with that power. Reporter: This would have put you 3 games ahead of them in the race to avoid being the lone team left out of the conference tournament. Is it that much more frustrating? Tovarich: We get them at home at the end, so we have some winnable games still. If we'd gotten this one, I'd say one more and we're safe to stay out of last. Now I feel like we need 3 more. Studbucket: Any possible good big men in recruiting or are you just going to end up acquiring warm bodies? Tovarich: We've gone overseas trying to find some big guys. Having little luck with much. I have a feeling I may end up saving some scholarship and waiting for next year to use them. We're in good shape on one recruit and ok shape on another if he doesn't go to High Point, but it's rough gathering interest from much of anyone. Going to have to work on my recruiting skills in the offseason.

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
@ Hill Field House Baltimore, MD
Tovarich: Wasn't expecting to be one of the better teams in the conference. They had a rough night shooting. We dribbled the leather off that ball on virtually every possession and we had some timely shooting to keep them at arm's length so we could continue executing the game plan. Reporter: Still just 2 FT's and it wasn't a lack of getting the big guys the ball, is it a reputation you think you now have with the MEAC refs? Tovarich: They'd have to answer that. A second game with just one foul called on the opposition. We were only called for 6 instead of 13 or whatever last game, but it's still frustrating. I know we don't drive it in a lot and we usually just do it to kick it back out in case the 3 isn't open already, but something does seem up. Reporter: Mirjacic and Moore... Tovarich: (interrupting) are they still here? Reporter: That's my question. Tovarich: They still have all those chairs down at the end to sit in. I almost did stick them in there at the last minute. But they got it down to single digits so I didn't. Reporter: Will they transfer? Tovarich: I doubt that's an option for them. We're the worst team. So maybe they'll just leave the team. Should they somehow not take either of the obvious choices, I'd be stunned if they weren't released in the pre-season. I expect I'll have walkons show up who are more useful. Reporter: Coppin State is in last place, but it's still a road game. What are you thoughts on possibly winning there? Tovarich: They're 3-16 and yet 12 spots higher in the RPI than we are, so maybe they played a tough schedule. On paper, they're obviously better. We made 4-14 Bethune-Cookman look good. We can make them look good too. |
