I believe this was a poll on ESPN, but what do you prefer a team that is relaxed/loose or one that comes out focused/serious?

There is a time and place for both. If I am the prohibitive favorite I want my team focused, because all too often rela***ion could lead to complacency. This is where you get your teams "sleepwalking".

On the flip side, if my team is the underdog or enter in a game too close to call I want them relaxed. All too often I have seen teams who have a good chance of pulling an upset or beating a team who owns a winning streak over them who lose the game because they play too tense and too fired up. This was the discussion after Belfry played Sheldon Clark.

I'd want my team loose & focused.

I like my teams the same way I like my women; Loose and Focused.

I believe I like a little of both. The right mixture that they are relaxed enough to go out and have fun, joke around during warm ups, etc. But not too relaxed I don't want them "goofing" off. I believe there is a time and place for both. It's okay to be relaxed in warm ups, but I guess once you run out onto the field you need to be focused. After all this is High School "KIDS" they need to be having fun!!!

I want them Focused on the GamePlan at the beginning and executing it - THEN the Relaxation and FUN will happen once we are beating the opponent!
