Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 2087955, member: 489"] No not really. I am sure there are some who are better, I do believe Clyde was very good and had something special but he's not coming back. I know even Clyde would have gotten nothing from AB and Kelis Fisher because, well they aren't highly IQ'd basketball players. There's a chance during JC's tenure that Glen Miller helped a big get better, how would we know if he didn't? It's exaggerated - they work with you, they give you things to work on, they teach you the game as well as they can and the player needs to pick up the rest and make himself what he wants to be. There's a redshirt frosh on Penn State (not looking up his name) who is playing excellent basketball, 12/9 type numbers big guy kind of Kentan's size. Not sure I heard about the fantastic big mans coach there but this kid couldn't get minutes his freshman year at a pretty bid level school/program. Between a year of the gym/weights, a year of practice and a summer which I am sure he worked himself into being better player and now he's about a year from leaving early. This is just a kid who got it, immediately and between his ears and hard work he became a player by listening, learning and bringing it to the court. I promise they don't have a "special" big gus coach, but they had a special kid. [/QUOTE]
