Dishin & Swishin: Kim Barnes Arico trades red in for maize & blue

[DishNSwish]

Always fun talking to KBA. Some pretty funny stuff at the end about UConn and the Big Ten, and the fact Kim has the last laugh on Geno as of now (on the court at least).

It is not easy to step in when the key players are established veterans. As a coach, you know your system has worked before (or you would not be in this position), but the players were recruited by your predecessor and may not fit that well. It takes a great coach to adapt their system to fit the skills of the players plus have a successful hybrid of player and coach strengths. Just ask Mike D’Antoni how easy it has been to do it with the Los Angeles Lakers; but Barnes Arico has done it in Michigan.
