Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 5203126, member: 6158"] Agree. Players are individuals just like the coach. You need to have empathy in order to figure out where someone is coming from and find ways to motivate them if you are a supervisor in any field. That starts in finding people who are willing to be motivated to the needs of the group as well as their own needs and sacrificing when necessary. It's never appropriate to dis your subordinates in the press for God's sake. That is so Rick P and that is one coach you don't want to emulate. Both Sanogo and Clingan came into college with sound footwork and defensive ability for pre college level. You could make the case that without Clingan there would be zero NC's. Personally I give a great deal of credit to Dan for picking the staff he has rather than his coaching or even recruiting. [/QUOTE]
