Yes Waite. I am. Show me a guy who smiles, and I'll show you a guy who loses. It's about the level of intensity and confidence. The only time he should be smiling on the court is when he clinches a conference title. I'd be willing to bet that Evans and Washington won't smile a single time after a mistake.
I'd argue very hard that Evans was the most competitive player on the team last year and I don't think it's even close.
I'm not saying he thinks mistakes are okay. I'm saying it shows a lack of confidence/swagger/whatever you want to call it. A Bearcat senior leader needs to be an a**hole on the court. Excuse my language, but that's just how I see it. I know Caupain has an outgoing personality and it a good kid. I'd just like to see the late-season mean streak all the time.
this is really, really stupid.
different people react to different things in different ways. his smiling reaction is just the way he acknowledges that he ****** up or missed something that could have been there.
you seem to be equating him smiling with him laughing something off and not caring. that's not correct.

let's just let your direct words do the talking, then, so we avoid any potential confusion.
this is stupid. you are directly equating smiling with a lack of intensity and confidence. this is bad.
this is also stupid. the guy reacts the way he reacts. his "swagger" is the way he does things - stoic in success, smiling in agony. equating that reaction with a lack of confidence is also bad.
these are not good points.
*In your opinion*

This is the dumbest thing I've ever read.
Maybe you guys never played sports. Idk. If you don't understand what I'm talking about, that's the only conclusion I can come to. Anyway, feel free to rip me as much as your hearts desire, but I'm not changing my stance on this or adding anything else to the convo.
Jake you may be reaching a bit here young man.Yes Waite. I am. Show me a guy who smiles, and I'll show you a guy who loses. It's about the level of intensity and confidence.

I saw Kenyon smile a lot on the court.. I think he's the greatest competitor to play at UC in over 50 years. Different strokes for different people IMO.
Was that after a mistake while the team was losing, or after he pounded a shot into the 10th row?

doesn't matter - it means he's not competitive and doesn't compete. it means he loses. context is irrelevant.
just your opinion, though.
I think you're looking for a Steve Logan type, and just not all guys are like that. Few are.
For what its worth, is there specific examples of Troy's behavior you don't like? I don't really recall seeing him all happy at any point we're down in a game?
