Kob, this is on them. They have the coach now. I'll give them some time, but we should consider that sometimes, it's the player.
Remember Zendon? He was terrible with Mahoney, and terrible with Frascilla. That's what happens if you just refuse to pass.
These kids have this pre season to pick up what Lavin and Co are teaching them. We'll know by the end of Dec what we've got.
I sure do remember Zendon, Poison. I remember telling a friend (who is a fan of G'town) that the Johnnies would be better, the following year, once Lopez, Hamilton and Turner were gone. He didn't think that would be the case and figured I was shortchanging what those guys meant to the Johnnies during the '97-'98 season.
I told him, we would be bringing in better talent (Barkley and Thornton); other good players would be a year older (Artest, Postell, Grant and Jessie) and Hamilton was a "black hole" and someone we would definitely be better off without.
Voila'! The team was a basket away from going to the Final Four the following season.
We'll be young next season, but I just believe we'll have a better team a season from now. I still believe this year can and will be a success. But, I think we'll occasionally see some of the same things we've been witnessing in the past due to the talent level.
Thanks for joining the resurrection of the Johnnies, Amir!
