Coach Talk

Kentucky Zombie
Here's a list of scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Dwight Howard free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? In a matchup where every point mattered, Greg Joseph probably had the GM of Kentucky Zombie sweating bullets.
AZTECS
Here's a list of scenarios where it's acceptable to go 0-for-2 in sports: A hitter's line in baseball, a pair of Shaquille O'Neal free throws, and a double-fault in tennis. That's basically it. Going 0-for-2 on field goal attempts this past week? Seems like Wil Lutz might be kicking himself to the waiver wire after that sort of performance... especially every point being so critical to AZTECS in this tight matchup.
