At what point does Benedict and/or Ollie have to address the departures?

We have had 2 kids depart, one that was not very good and another that was apparently not a team player.

Not quite, imo. You don't get more time on the clock just because you scapegoated a guy. I agree with the 5 year rule, a title gives you 5 more years. If the next two are like the last three, a change will come.

That's a fair point. At the same time I don't think you can just just make small changes every year. At some point you have to create stability, whether that's getting rid of everyone or giving everyone a little extra leeway.

I lean towards giving someone extra time to prove themselves, but I certainly don't think that's the definitively correct way. I'd give Ollie 2 years to prove himself, though there's a case for letting him go if next year is a disaster

Hey you can post anything you want any time you want go start any drama here Chief. But a guy like you with all your pull should be a little more detailed in the replies when saying KO lost his players confidence. I mean if you're that sure let's get examples because if it's true I know you have them???

I did post a little from a business perspective in another thread.
I hear things but I am not usually there when things happen and there's usually two sides and I hear one. You expect some internal team disputes and best to keep in house unless they are totally out of control. I like KO as most people in my generation do, who know him but from looking at it from the outside it's pretty apparent two way communication could be improved. Too many things festered this season. He is the leader so he needs to do better at that. This take it or leave it approach I don't need to criticize because the evidence on how that worked is there for all to see. I also see a lack of structure off the court on how things are run - things that are happening now that shouldn't be.

Having said that criticism, KO had the balls to pull the trigger on two personnel matters. I applaud him for his decisiveness - but he really needs a business person in his staff to organize things and immediately follow his conversation with Miller up with the do's/don't papers.

Just find a few shooters.

Agree and some real Big men. Look what SC did to the UConn Women with a PG no one could keep in front of them and a true Big Girl that wore our athletes down
