Message: [QUOTE="MuchoDogYears, post: 2451905, member: 5395"] My perspective on KO is that he has done some things this year that I really like which are laying the foundation to bring the program back to prominence. Frustratingly, he is appearing to be doing some things that are undermining that very effort. This is what has bothered me and many others. With KOs cleaning house of players and coaches, and bringing in new players who have energy, desire, and are team oriented and multi skilled, he has made major in-roads on changing the team culture from last years soft, weak, and individualistic team. On the downside, he hasn’t required excellence from his players. When the SAME mistakes, like giving up wide open shots or having his players on offense play “hero” ball every possession, happen EVERY game...it’s a problem. KO comes in for justifiable criticism because he’s recognized these problems from the 1st game. He talks about these SAME problems after every game. Recognizing the problem is the hardest part of fixing a problem. At least for most people. KO recognizes the problems but the problems never ever get fixed. Not even a little. That means that KO, as the coach, does not know how to impart his will on the team to get the players to learn, embrace and enact what he wants done on the court. [/QUOTE]
