Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 3940535, member: 11108"] I know there’s a lot of circumstances involved, most of which I don’t want to cover, but the reality is when you have a rare talent like Bouknight, you have to channel/refine him and convert the talent into meaningful results for the time you have him. That largely did not happen. I don’t blame Hurley for much of that, but at the end of the day the great coaches manage those situations/ players to the program’s benefit. I recognize it wasn’t for lack of effort on Dan’s part and he tried various things. The best that can happen now is to say we produced a lottery pick, but are we really sure that’s definitely going to happen now? Time will tell. What a shame because both coach and player in their hearts wanted another year. I sense if that happened the final chapter would be very different for both of them, in a good way. [/QUOTE]
