We had to give up the high pick because we couldn't do it without fouling. We had to give up ball hawking D because we don't get the spacing. Our pressure is three guys pressuring and two guys out of the loop. We don't box. We don't seal. Our two man break is less effective than out one man break. It turns out the Ogbole has skills that we don't see until the last two games. I don't want to see 75% of the players back, but I really don't want ANY of the assistant coaches back. Pikes sees this better than I do but he is too soft hearted.
The role of the assistant has changed. Frankly it is less about attending high school games and more about position coaching. A guy like Knight who has built relationships that were valuable in the old era, is practically useless. We need guys who can coach up and organize players within concepts, schemes, and sets. AAU contacts mean nothing now. Money is now the main recruiting tool. That's the reset. We're already behind the curve.
Knight, Smoke, TJ, Hayn are all nice guys. They get along well. This ain't the Beatles. We don't need harmony. We need driven experts that are mad at the world. We don't have 'em. Not one.
