The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga basketball coach had something to say to his players, the officials and even opposing coach Mike Young — an old friend — during the Mocs’ 88-56 Southern Conference humbling at Wofford.
“I wasn’t pleased with a lot of things, and we were getting our tail kicked,” Shulman said. “If the game is going to get that physical, Wofford is real tough to beat.”
Shulman had a calmer tone and attitude in the second half as the Terriers pulled away and proved why they’re the defending Southern Conference champions. They have a combination of strength, experience, and gritty defense.
“I didn’t have to do anything tonight,” Young said. “They came in 7-0, they had just beat College of Charleston, and we didn’t need any more motivation than that.”
