yes, the optics outside of Long Beach are what they are. I don't blame Smitheran for downplaying the credit Monson is getting in this.
I call B.S on Smitheran's claim. Letting Monson go was 100% the right decision. Monson sneaking into the NCAA tournament, however, had the effect of publicly highlighting Smitheran's lack of decision making experience.
don't blame him, referenced from Brown Board.
Monson has been taken a lot of subtle digs at him and the University the last week,
Justified response. If Monson isn't gong to end these interviews and emphatically acknowledge his lack of performance and Beach giving him an extra long leash last 5 years, and making it about Beach and not himself, this response was totally justified.
praise the players and the Unversity Monson, not make it your audition for being some TV funny guy.
let's hope we keep winning, and then Monson can keep up with his bozo the clown act.
