In all seriousness, does anyone else feel that the coaching staff and/or juniors should counsel Greg on what seems to be an almost habitual, knee-jerk reaction to most fouls called against him? I know there are times where he's got a legit gripe (given the general subjectivity / relativity of foul calls in college hoops), but I just have to think that that repeated reaction of incredulity has to grate against certain BE refs as it could be construed as showing them up. Austin used to be just as bad about this, although admittedly it hasn't jumped out at me as much since conference play began. Greg's demeanor really ought to be a concern for the coaching staff though, since I could easily see one of the more "theatrical" refs throwing a gratuitous T at him for arguing a call.

Yeah this dioes bug me a little, and also surprises me, since this goes against the usual demeanor the staff and team usually display. Of course it goes along with his passion at times, which is hard to suppress. Hopefully it will abate with more experience - and before John Cahill T's him up in a critical game.

I am quiet certain somebody has talked to him about it, but like you said, you can't turn that passion on and off in a 19 year old playing Edited out as hard as they can. On the bright side, Greg does seem to walk away from some fouls - the ones where he truly intended to stop the guy with a foul. I think #2 or 3 in 'cuse was like this and Greg just turned to walk away like "yup, I did that and I am proud of it", which, like I said in that other long post, is a respectable part of the game.

Great passing big man who doesn't bang inside and whines about calls. Are we sure Greg isn't European?

final cuse comment and to look forward especailly to cuse game down here GREAT ARTTILCE LINK ON FRON PAGE OF HOYA SAXA . COM ON HOW TO ATTACK THE ZONE which we did not do i think it was a great analysis basically saying we lost cause we stood around didnot move didnt pass fast and didnt make moves ie be aggressive and committ and dish penetrate and pass whip that ball so HOYAS duke probably wont ever zone but IF THEY DO MOVE MOVE MOVE MOVE AND MOVE ON if not needed sat DEFINITLY NEEDED FOR NEXT CUSE GAME but one at a time BEAT DUKE if the refs are fair and not duke lovers letting them get a way with fouls on EVERY PLAY we got a good shot and NO PHANTOM FOULS go hoyas beat duke then move on and move
