Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2627150, member: 1414"] Actually, I think the game has changed. In the same way advanced metrics changed baseball, and "hunch" managers and "eye test" GMs found themselves losing, basketball has adapted. The three point shot is vastly more important, offensively and defensively, than it was when he retired. I think one of Ollie's chief failures was that he coached like it was the mid 90's in the NBA. We need a coach that embraces and understands what is currently happening in college basketball. Now, I think Calhoun is smart enough to have recognized it, but may be too stubborn to change much, and more importantly, that's just too much work at this stage. Since Calhoun was more involved with URI than UConn this year, I think it's a safe bet that if Hurley comes to Storrs, JC will play a bigger role with the team. [/QUOTE]
