Calhoun had tons of HC experience when he took over, but he has some huge advantages. The BE was the hottest league in the country and on ESPN more than anyone else. There were more players who wanted to play in the BE than want to play in the AAC.
I think Diaco will win big at UConn, but there are no guarantees. There is nothing that has happened so far that makes me feel Diaco can't turn it around. If he doesn't, he is gone and we start again.
Well, it's certainly a full moon, because I am wondering,....., Me now - I'm wondering what the hell this post has to do with anything I wrote and how I should respond? Crazy things happen when there is a full moon, and that's what worries me most about this game tomorrow. There is absolutely no reason we lose tomorrow, other than the full moon.
So anyway - the only question I can come up with about Diaco, is his ability to actually head coach a team to wins regularly. I would concede that we haven't seen his best effort yet, at accomplishing that, but in everything else observable by me, the guy is a success so far through 1 year. The quality of recruit that he is bringing in, none of us will know, until they actually start playing, but he is at least bringing in adequate numbers such that we don't have to have proverbial heart attacks every time a player is slow getting up of the field after a play.
So, we have 1 more game to play for 2014, and then won't have another for 10 months until September 6, 2015. The program we go up against in Sept 2015, unless something major happens, will be led by a guy that has won something like 215 games in his college head coaching career. Hopefully, when that time comes our head coach will have 3.
