I'm happy to do the RGJ's work for them.

So, let's see here... on November 7th, we pointed out that Nevada's been quite poor at second half adjustments this year. A few days ago, some people started posting links to our blog on the RGJ. Suddenly, they notice Nevada's poor second half adjustments:

But there is also firepower for those who are calling for a change. Coaching decisions have come into question, most notably the use of timeouts and play-calling in the final minutes of the Pack's 28-26 loss to Hawaii on Nov. 16. The Warriors kicked the game-winning, 45-yard field goal with 11 seconds to play.

Opponents have also apparently made better use of halftime. The Wolf Pack has outscored opponents, 194-167, in the first half, and has been outscored, 93-48, in the third quarter. Nevada has lost two games (to Northwestern and San Jose State) in which it led by 14 points at halftime.

I'm happy we could be of assistance. If the RGJ suddenly puts up a public poll asking if Ault should be fired, that'll settle it - we're giving them material!

Okay, in all seriousness, it's not like we don't respond to the RGJ from time to time, and that article that mentioned poor second half adjustments was really about Groth publicly saying that Ault wasn't going to get fired. The question, of course, has to do with her motivation - did she do it to publicly reassure Ault that he was going to go out on his own terms, or did she do it as a backhanded way of warning Ault that it's okay to blow a season once in a while but she's ultimately in control of his job? Time will tell.
