My biggest concern with the staff has been the inability to make the guys better at playing team basketball... Everybody talks about our talent, and I for one think individually these guys are very talented. However what keeps these guys from taking the next step is these guys have not learned to play within their strengths and try to do to much on own, which brings out all their flaws. This I believe is on coaching as much as the players.
Lavin is an outstanding recruiter and if you think other wise, you probably just don't understand enough about college basketball. With that said my concern with his recruits are, if he insists on just taking athletes, then make sure as a coach, you are good enough as a tactician or have someone who is, so that the weaknesses are hidden by drawing up the right plays and playing a rotation that does not bring out all the deficiencies at once. The staff can't hit free throws or hit jump shots but they can draw up enough good plays so at the very least, kids are put in the right position to give them the best opportunity to succeed and that I do not see enough.
Our team iq, low post game and three point shooting is awful, so this staff has to figure a way to better game plan, game in and game out next yr, because until these guys learn to play 40 minutes of team basketball, we are looking at another season of the same.
