When Tre Donaldson’s film session and apology was a turning point for Michigan
Less than a day after the Michigan Wolverines suffered its worst loss of the season, a 91-64 defeat to No. 11 Purdue on Jan. 24, point guard Tre Donaldson was already back at work. In a one-on-one film session with coach Dusty May, Donaldson reviewed his mistakes, determined to make a change.
Donaldson struggled in the game, committing six turnovers, a career-worst, with just one assist, his lowest of the season. His early mistakes set the tone for Michigan’s rough night, as Purdue capitalized on his turnovers to take an early 13-2 lead.
After watching the game back with his coach, Donaldson later joined the team for another film session and took accountability. During the session, Donaldson stood up and addressed his teammates:
“Hey guys, I’ll be better. That’s not the Tre Donaldson you’ll see going forward,” Donaldson said.
Assistant coach Drew Williamson believed that moment was crucial.
"When your point guard and leader owns up to a bad game in front of the team, it builds confidence," Williamson said.
Two days after his apology, Donaldson delivered his best game of the season in a 76-72 win over Penn State on Jan. 27. He scored 21 points, including the team’s final seven points to close out a 9-0 run in the last two minutes.
