I sit behind the Nebraska bench about 3 rows up and I can hear and read lips the best I can during the games as coaches talk to the players during the games as they come off the floor.
I have really noticed Coach Phil Breckner has been ripping guys during the games saying negative things to players that will take any confidence you may still have completely away. I haven't heard anything like that before. I have noticed players shutting down after he talks to them.
Coach Smith, Coach Hunter and Coach Harriman would talk to guys during the games in a manner that would challenge them to go out and do better but not tear them down like I hear now..
I just think he is causing players to second guess their game decisions during play which is hard to do in the game of basketball as bad things will follow.
