+ | After the season was concluded, //Marquette Tribune// columnist, Jim Savage, wrote the following open letter to Coach [[Jack Nagle]]- | ||
+ | |||
+ | Dear Coach, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Yesterday we sat in the staff room in the gym, discussing this year's basketball team. For the most part, I think we were in almost total agreement. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Basically, I think that you, assistant coach Bill Knapton and I agreed that the technical side of the game was just about as good as you'll find anywhere. | ||
+ | |||
+ | But, as I said, I felt there was one big factor which seemed to me much more important than any of the others. | ||
+ | |||
+ | What I meant was this. The entire team was not, at any one time, wholly on your side. As a unit, they did not have confidence in what you were doing. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As far as many of the team members were concerned, you weren' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Contrary to this idea, I've always though that you and Bill were hired to coach the basketball team. Evidently, I am not in agreement with the team on this point. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before the season started, rumbling was noticeable, but it existed among only two or three. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Soon it was no longer limited to player-coach dissension. | ||
+ | |||
+ | As I told you yesterday, I was often tempted to say something about this to you. But I kept thinking that somewhere, someone would find the solution, and soon everything would be smoothed over. But I was wrong. | ||
+ | |||
+ | I realized this as I watched the [[Notre Dame]] game here in the Arena, the night we lost by 20, 76-56. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Basketball, like any other sport, must be played from "way deep down" if it is to be played well. It wasn't that way in a lot of games this year. On many occasions, your boys didn't even look like they were trying to dig deep down. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For the sake of clarification, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Whether or not you want to believe this information is your perogative. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Sincerely, | ||
+ | |||
+ | Jim Savage | ||
