Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4204213, member: 6696"] I have no idea. I would agree though that that isn't really Tom's personality. The best coaches are guys who don't just say "I want you to tell me when I'm screwing up," they LISTEN to it and they don't take it personally. I know some guys are all about "I listen to the assistants!" But really the assistants are too scared to keep it 100 I don't know if it's a problem with Hurley or not. I can say that Calhoun was GREAT about that. I've talked to a former player and a former assistant who have both said that. He was a major , but if a coach or player told him something, he listened to it and objectively decided if he was right. He didn't let his ego get in the way of winning. That's why you see so much change in his coaching over the years. Using his big men differently, getting away from the 221 press, all that. [/QUOTE]
