Message: [QUOTE="Hey Adrien!, post: 3901551, member: 5787"] Just read the article. Wow. Reading all the quotes and reports, Brennan sounds like an good coach and an OK guy, just didn't have the flexibility and compassion the players needed in a totally upside-down year. He's built a reputation of being an intense, hard-working coach, but this year out of all is needed to connect with players, especially since the guys had almost nothing else in their lives outside of basketball. Thankfully, this sounds like there was no singular moment that really put the kids in a tough situation, but more of a sum of the parts. On the flip side, you see a guy like Hurley, who, like Brennan, is known as an intense, hard-working coach who expects a lot out of his players. However, you also see a guy with a great sense of humor, takes his job but not himself seriously...you see his ability to connect with the team and there's a sense of love and family within the team.
