Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 5352250, member: 9355"] Me too. I wrote an email 2 months ago to his coach at UC Santa Barbara, Joe Pasternak, to take good care of him and not shoe horn him into PG right away. Pasternak wrote back to me and stated how glad he was to have Mahaney and that I should come down to watch a game. Aidan deserves responsibility for his season last year, but he was starting to play better at the end and he had some good games at UConn. I fault Hurley for putting too much on Aidan's plate too early and shoe horning him into PG too soon even though they might have had that agreement when he was recruited from the transfer portal. I always thought Aidan could play the John Gwynn microwave role off the bench. Also, UConn's defensive scheme made it too easy to play one-on-one without too much help defense and that exposed Mahaney even more. [/QUOTE]
