I'll wager those uncoachable guys will be infinitely more coachable on Monday.

If not, they'll be a HECK of a lot more coachable on Tuesday! They still have great talent. Cal is still a great coach. If they had started the season without Noel, they would still be at least as good as they were with him before he got hurt. The other guys would have been better on defense without him because they wouldn't have learned to rely on him to erase their mistakes. No question his sudden absence hurt their confidence and boosted the Vols'. That may not have made a 30-point difference, but it probably would have made a 20-point difference. We forget now that the Vols only lost by 10 at Rupp with only about 15 minutes out of Stokes.
