I agree. And I think there are two good things to say about what O'toole is doing. First, everyone on this team is getting along and pulling for each other, something I haven't seen on a Fairfield team since Bowman and Francis graduated. Secondly, the players can play with a little bit of confidence, knowing that if they have a bad game, they won't get buried on the bench (even if they do get their minutes reduced).

The other major change that seems to have gone without comment is that Gai, Todd and Maxwell started this game. Did O'toole recognize these guys are the best players and make a permanent change. Or did he bench Delfico and thompson in order to send them a message. Either way, he got the desired results.

At the reception after the game, Coach Hobbie indicated the staff felt yesterday's starting line-up was their best offensive lineup. It was also pointed out that Nick gets fatigued and his game suffers. Thus, his coming off the bench just allowed a fresh player to spell a starter. Also Bridgeport, don't beat yourself up. That agonizing is part of being a fan. Agree there is no excuse to boo "your team". I would never boo ANY player, or my coach. Refs are fair game.
