Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 2499265, member: 168"] It's why I agree, by and large, with the initial post. Auggy points out that our offense is designed--when we can't get fast breaks (and we can't because we can't rebound)--to allow talented players to score out of Iso. KO's last few years in the league, it was still an Iso league. It isn't, and we haven't adjusted. If KO put in the work, he could get the people to come here, in theory. He's done it already. He may have burned that bridge forever though, or might not have the desire to put in the necessary work. I don't know. But if he's still recruiting people to play an offense that basketball left behind with players not even gifted enough to run [I]that[/I] well, I don't know what to say. JC was stubborn, and some years he'd lose games and stick to the system. It worked out because those kids were super-talented and he was a great coach. They could mature and be trusted to mature into what we needed. We're missing both aspects right now. No one should have thought KO would be JC's equivalent as a coach. But he should be better than he is, and the players on the court--sans Adams, Larrier, and an Gilbert (I like CV, but he's essentially Craig Austrie)--aren't the type of players who can grow into the system. To win with this group he has to radically shift [I]everything [/I]on offense. [/QUOTE]
