Message: [QUOTE="PAHusky, post: 2500254, member: 3807"] I agree. It's another 'what if' that KO can use as an excuse when in actuality it's a huge indictment of his coaching. Let me start by saying that I like Gilbert, and I think that if he could get healthy at some point in the future he'd be a great piece for us. Adding a burger boy to your lineup is a no brainer improvement. However, he would not have solved this team's shooting woes - he's an ok not great shooter himself, and his ability to break his man down is useless if he's met by three guys at the rim every time because we have no outside threats. He alone wasn't making this team watchable. KO knew before the season that he had an injury history. If he had followed through and landed MAL, maybe it's a moot point. He didn't. Our roster, for the third time in as many years, has huge holes in it. It's on KO to put the team together. Constantly relying on grad transfers who don't have high D1 talent, having a bunch of potentially key players transfer without filling the holes with any talent, not recruiting with a pg with a recurring injury in mind.....these all fall on KO. He's not an NBA coach, he can't blame the GM for roster construction. As far as I can tell this year, KO has been thoroughly out coached in game. Does it help that we don't have the talent we've had in years past due to recruiting and transfers? Yes, but who controls most of that? KO. I like our recruits for next year, but can anyone honestly say that that is a class so talented that it's going to right this ship? No chance. [/QUOTE]
