Yeah, I have no idea what the heck Joe Scott does with his players. I couldn't pick him out of a lineup of two. I was merely going with the sentiment expressed on here by other Princetonians. I think berate is a fine word though, of course, Bobby Knight is probably a poor choice for comparison. You'll also note that I said Princeton would win the league, so this isn't a case of me just stirring the pot. I simply objected to TigerDave's quote about little patience. I think it's fair to say that Scott yells alot at his players, and it might be fair to say (At least based on some Princeton posters; if not, correct me) that he rarely offers praise.
I can't work under those conditions and I don't think students should have to, regardless of whether it might produce a title. If I'm Will Venable, I'm thinking, "Hey, I know how to win a title, I already did, under much different conditions. Now some guy is gonna stroll in who I did NOT agree to play for, and start yelling at me? Forget this." Now, you could say that he could quit, but that's not in a warrior like Venable's nature. But that doesn't make what Scott does correct. Look, I know it's difficult for Princetonians to agree with me about anything, but I have a point here, whether it pains you to admit it or not.
