Just heard a 15 minute interview with Coach L on a Washington, DC sports talk morning show. Highlights (not that many):
- Gave kudos to our trainers who are diligently working with Norchad everyday on his rehab. Seemed to think it may be a bit much to expect he can be ready after only one week but ... today and tomorrow will tell the tale.
- Said without Omier against Duke, we had to sag back into the paint (Duke's front line had the two 7 footers), leaving their guards wide open. Duke hadn't been a good outside shooting team all year but they took full advantage in the ACC Tourney game. He liked the way we hung in but really said that "getting stops has been a season long reason why we haven't been able to put that many opponents away."
- The hosts asked L about how big his pool was in Miami. He replied his Miami residence has no pool but his place up in Lakewood Ranch up in Sarasota does. (Guess he sees a lot of Vitale -- doesn't ****ie V also live in Lakewood Ranch?). That surprised me that he doesn't consider wherever he stays in South Florida during the season his primary Florida home.
- Hosts mistakenly thought Coach L was now the "dean of ACC coaches, age-wise." Jim reminded them that Leonard Hamilton was older (they couldn't believe Ham's age). L said he had zero interest in retiring anytime soon.
