Slightly OT but article relevant, this comment at the bottom of our section had me a bit more intrigued. We all knew about the new paint, new feel, protein bar, etc. at the facilities, but I was completely unaware of how much of a mess it was, at least according to this:
""The care and cleanliness of the facility. The locker room, the player lounge, the hallways, the traffic in the building. It had basically become a free-for-all. We had to raise the team's expectations and understanding of our expectations for how they treated things. We had to make a lot of changes for them in the building to help shine everything up so it became something respectable-looking again. Give the players things and present them in a first-class way and create a level of pride."
Just goes to show you that not only was there a loss of buy-in to the program, there was a big loss of respect too. Makes it even more impressive the turnaround from day one if you ask me, W&L's irrespective at this stage.
