Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
vs. Legends Classic Semifinal Prudential Center Newark, NJ
Tovarich: That might be the worst game I've ever been apart of. Reporter: Uh coach, why were you walking around different places in the arena the whole game? At one point you were in the press box and maybe walking around the rafters? Tovarich: Yeah, I think I had vertigo. I was getting dizzy trying to coach the game. Everything was either blurring or lagging, like I was watching a video that was buffering or something. It was awful. I was getting a headache and I needed to walk around and see if there was somewhere I could watch from that wasn't like that. It was such a weird perspective, I really didn't care for any of it. I tried a bunch of spots for a minute and just had to get up and go somewhere else constantly. Reporter: Do you think your players had vertigo too the way they shot? Tovarich: Some, for sure. We were 0-9 on 3's at halftime. They pressed even up 24 in the second half. Their interior defense was incredible. I think the refs had vertigo too though. 10 blocks for them and 0 for us because every time we breathed on them it was a foul. Their players didn't seem affected. They shot the lights out. It was like playing Marquette in the tournament, but there's something wrong with Seton Hall's arena. It's dizzying. Reporter: Will you coach tomorrow's game? Tovarich: We'll see. I may have to leave that up to one of the assistants. I don't know if I can handle that again.

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
vs. Legends Classic 3rd Place Game Prudential Center Newark, NJ
Tovarich: I hope never to see this arena for the rest of my career. I'm still dizzy. Reporter: Why not try coaching from the rafters again? Tovarich: That wasn't fun either. And I had to use signals to the players and coaches for them to know what I wanted, and we play Michigan soon, so we can't do that. Reporter: Did you think you had a chance to force OT there at the end? Tovarich: No. We shot 0% on game-tying shots for the entire game. I knew it would miss. Everyone missed everything just about. And we were outrebounded by a far inferior team as usual, so even when we forced misses, which we didn't force many of, they got it right back. They had 11 offensive rebounds on 22 missed shots. Reporter: So what's wrong with Seton Hall's arena? Tovarich: I'd love to know. But we shot terribly both games, both our opponents shot great and the players must be as dizzy as I am, maybe that's why they couldn't see the ball to rebound either and missed so many shots. Reporter: Any positives from the tournament? Tovarich: Absolutely. It's over and I know never to come to it again or play @ Seton Hall.

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
@ Bradley Center Milwaukee, WI
Tovarich: Something obviously is broken. -30 in rebounds is the most hilariously lopsided in our long history of hilariously lopsided rebounding statistics. They were 73% at halftime. They cooled off tremendously in the second half, not that it matter. They got most of their misses back anyway. It was nice of them to stop pressing us up 74-42. Didn't matter who was trying to break the press, they defended it almost perfectly every time. Got the center in foul trouble eventually, not that it mattered. They had guards out jumping our centers the entire game. Reporter: What can you do to switch things up? Tovarich: I don't know. I hadn't seen this kind of performance since....oh, right, Marquette in the tournament last year. I think I learned though that when the opponent plays like that, there is literally nothing I can change to make a difference. No matter who plays, they're going to miss layups against perfect defense. We're going to shoot poorly. They're going to dominate the boards no matter who I put it on what I try. Reporter: Any changes to the starters? Tovarich: Maybe. I don't really know what to change right now. It's not any one person's fault that 3 opponents in a row have shot over 60%. No one on our team has done a great job scoring, no one's done a good job rebounding. Reporter: Is it team unity? Tovarich: Can't be. They had even less than us. I don't have the answer right now. Reporter: Do you expect to get your lone signee in the early signing period? Tovarich: I think so, yes.

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
@ E.A. Diddle Arena Bowling Green, KY
Tovarich: Well, that was de ja vu for a half. Everything that happened the last 3 games went on in the first half. Suotamo couldn't make a layup, even against a very small guard at one point threw him off enough to miss a layup. They shot 77% in the first half. I wish I knew what changed. Obviously if they're going to shot 77%, we may as well just go for a steal on every single pass they throw the entire game, since we can't force a miss anyway. We rebounded semi-competently throughout, so no idea what changed there either, but something did. I don't think I gave a halftime speech that changed anything. They just came out and couldn't hit a shot all of a sudden. Reporter: So do you think you're out of your funk? Tovarich: That can come back any time. Such a random sport. Things seemed too easy at 8-0, many of which were easy games. I did not see this 3 1/2 game skid of incompetence coming. So, no. We may go right back in one. We may have some other 3 game losing streak somewhere. Who knows? Reporter: Did you make any actual halftime adjustments though? Tovarich: Of course, we got tighter on D on some people. I had done that with some before halftime though, so no idea what made the difference. Night and day for them. We were consistent throughout for the most part. Reporter: Do pep talks help out this sort of thing? Tovarich: I have no idea what that does or doesn't do besides make people feel more confident, but confidence doesn't always equate to playing defense or making shots or getting rebounds. I've given some over the years and the players comes out even worse than before after that, so I can't say. Reporter: Are you ready to make a switch at center? Tovarich: We rate them both equally, just like we do at SG and PF and then our SF vs. a third guard all comes out the same. I yanked Suotamo in that one for sure because he couldn't do a damn thing. But that might be different tomorrow. |

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
Did coach Tovarich slow down the game in the second half? Or was the defense that much better/shooting that much worse? It was 92 combined points in H1 and 51 in H2.

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
@ Rupp Arena Lexington, KY
Tovarich: Two games ago we gave up 99 against a lesser team, now we hold Kentucky at Rupp to 49, all while doing the exact same thing both games. Riddle me that. Reporter: Are you concerned your point guard only has 12 assists in 5 games? Tovarich: That is bizarre. 4 of those games we were pressed endlessly and rarely got into half court offense. Kentucky did that South Alabama half court trap here and there, but didn't press until the very end. The two big guys lead in assists. They did a great job finding open 3 point shooters. They scored a lot too. Everything went through them tonight. We had a rough shooting night from outside, so that cost everyone some assists. Some of the games did feel like the players who caught Galbreath's passes were cursed, but that didn't feel that way tonight. Reporter: Is outrebounding Kentucky a good sign? Tovarich: That was pretty even tonight. I'll take that every game, but no, we're not doing anything differently there either. Kentucky may have had us until they took a lot of 3's the last few minutes there and we had some uncontested rebounds. A lot of aspects of this game often just feel like they are beyond my control. For 4 straight losses, we got dominated on the boards, including a 42-12 night. It's so random and I don't know why. Reporter: Are you happy with the current starting 5 or will there be more tweaking? Tovarich: Camper really started out hot shooting 3's and he's cooled off, but Lewis hasn't exactly taken off either, so we'll leave that alone for now. The PF spot is one I'm quick to yank if we're being pressed and one of them can't finish a layup on a drive. Center is a tossup. Suotamo is supposed to be the better rebounder. I'm not sure the numbers bear that out if you think about it as rebounds per minute played. They both have really off nights both scoring and rebounding sometimes. We've run into a lot of incredible interior defense lately. Reporter: Why do you sound sarcastic every time you say that coach? Tovarich (smiles) Reporter: Were you disappointed not to get your PG recruit signed in the early period? Tovarich: Yeah, I think we must have been about 98% of the way there, but couldn't quite finish the deal yet. I see Detroit is going after him hard. I would like to think we can outrecruit them. We have a good backup plan too though, but I prefer the guy we've offered. |

Re: Coach Tovarich 2.0 CH2K8 Career Legacy
@ Magness Arena Denver, CO
Tovarich: Frustrating game. At least we got a win, which only was because of the cupcake we played. Any remotely respectable team would've beaten us today. Reporter: Are you referring to Li missing the 3 at the buzzer? Tovarich: Well, that didn't help. But he singlehandedly won that game, so we'll forgive him for missing that shot. Reporter: Was it the rebounding? Tovarich: That's always frustrating. -11 against Denver is embarrassing. Their SF was outjumping both our PF's and C's consistently. Reporter: Was it your big men's shooting? Tovarich: Suotamo started 0-4 with 3 of them blocked. He was somewhat useful after that. Shehan got some points. Pawlak couldn't make a layup either. It was like shots in the paint were banned. Luckily Li hit so many 3's. Reporter: You switched both starters at SG and PF. What went into that? Tovarich: Camper was starting because he was shooting well. He's been so-so since. Lewis has improved some. Both were mediocre today. That'll remain flexible. Neither PF was good today, but Jack was a tad better. No one was pressing us today, so that wasn't a factor. Just in general Jack seems like the better offensive option. That may continue to be flexible as well. Reporter: Any other frustrations? Tovarich: Of course. Our defense continues to be awful. Some guy off their bench went for 22 and hit every 3 he took. He should've been the offensive plan on every drive and they'd have killed us. He was unstoppable. They had 3 pretty unstoppable people, no matter how tight we played on them. They'd keep hitting everything even with someone right in their face. |
