Coaching 101: FAU Head Coach Dusty May Demands Fans To Snitch On His Players, Doesn't Have Time To Celebrate A Final Four Yet
I love this move by Dusty May because it's just peak coaching. Remember this dude is from Indiana and was a manager for Bobby Knight. You gotta have a little bit of an asshole in you if you spend time around Knight. Just the way it works. Any other coach in this situation would likely just high five, say thanks to the fans, say the run isn't over, etc. You know the basic shit.
But this is what separates FAU from any other mid-major. Well this and talent. I was talking to someone about it over the weekend, FAU isn't Loyola, VCU, George Mason, etc. This team has way more high level talent than any of those teams. It's more Butler who had NBA players on the roster.
It also makes sense for May to say this. These dudes to get live in Boca Raton and go to school at Florida Atlantic. I've never been to FAU - I'd love to stop by on my way back from Ireland thanks to them #BracketBuskers - but I assume there's a lot to do there in terms of partying. May doesn't care though. In fact he should probably just get right to Houston. Should fly out today.
Imagine being the snitch to a coach though. I get it. I want my guys to show up too. I want FAU to show up and win the whole damn thing. Might have to fly down there just to be the snitch.
