yikes... water shot from Zac, hopefully they can recover

BYUFootballisBack

1:50pm

They are still in a good spot if they can save bogey here.

cougaman

1:51pm

Yeah, just making it harder than it needed to be 🙂

BYUFootballisBack

1:53pm

All they had to do was probably par out to win, and he hits it left in the water with room right 🤦‍♂️

RdF3

1:52pm

That was a terrible miss

RC Vikings

1:56pm

I think from that length it’s less than 50% make rate in tour.

I think hes referring to the water shot, not the putt

BYUFootballisBack

2:06pm

His tee shot

RC Vikings

2:07pm

And just missed the bogey putt too, dang

BYUFootballisBack

1:58pm

Zac needs to pull his head out. He’s not looked great.

pink22

They are running away with it if he’s playing well.

cougaman

I’ve seen him hit one bad iron shot and two bad putts so far. Got them a birdie

Didn’t his shot go out of bounds on hole 3 as well? I had to step away, but the

True. But FIFTEEN under the speed limit? At least go 70, 75...

Nah, if they’re going that much slower, they’re being unsafe. If you don’t want to drive that fast, don’t drive

RealTaysomHill

PHXSUNS31

Larry Bird. He was even slower and less athletic and a superior

Jdoc

And six foot nine. Literally in the top >99.99% for height.

DieHarder

1:23pm

He was tall. That definitely helped.

Jdoc

I mostly meant the present game. Better athletes today than in Bird’s era

PHXSUNS31

1:27pm

How about John Stockton? He played in an era with incredible athletes. Dr. J.,

Jdoc

1:29pm

Ya he’s good..for me the difference would be in how they play/played

PHXSUNS31

I get your point. It is amazing what Brunson does. It is hard to believe he does

Jdoc

No. I don't think they'd fire a HC and promote one of his assistants.

No, he chose the college coaching lifestyle for his family. He could have been a

cougaman

No. He said his desire was never to be an NBA head coach. Wanted to settle down

Cougz19

Direct quote from him during his introductory press conference.

Phred84044

His direct quote did not say he never wanted to be a HC.

No, it wasn’t. When asked if he felt this was putting his dream of being an NBA

BYU '80

You are wrong. He interviewed 9 times. He was trying to be a HC stop with this

That isn’t what he said
