Message: [QUOTE="uconngb, post: 3386349, member: 1708"] Not even gonna get into player evaluation, talent level, offensive sets, defense, etc. our roster is what it is right now. Ain’t gonna change until next year. My big concern is the deer in the headlights look from the Coach on down. As soon as this team gets punched in the mouth, they curl up and suck their collective thumbs. Dan Hurley supposedly is a fiery guy, but it doesn’t seem as if he’s really going after these guys for completely lackluster EFFORT (again, not commenting on talent). He needs to do something drastic to get control of this quickly. Yes he sat Josh and Tyler for long spells today. But it just seems like the entire program gives up with such ease. He’s gotta become a real SOB to establish the culture he keeps talking about. At this point, I honestly don’t care about W/L this year. We know what needs to happen for this team to get better, and I’m pretty confident Dan Hurley can find and bring in talent once the riff raff is gone. He HAS to demand effort and fire, or literally put guys on the bench. This is the time for him to put his mark on the program. The talk has to stop. We need a serious attitude adjustment. Or this whole thing is gonna go straight down the toilet. Very interested to see how he responds to this adversity, when it’s clear that more than half the team cannot light their own fire internally. [/QUOTE]
