Message: [QUOTE="Umami Zen, post: 4993992, member: 10678"] My two cents. Dan had to rebuild the culture and talent level initially. He is a student of successful people/self-improvement/a voracious reader. After the New Mexico St loss- I believe he knew things had to change re: how he managed his staff and Program. He became a CEO of the "organization"- He delegated to the strengths of his staff and let them self-actualize their talents for the good of the "organization". Gave the keys of the car to Luke for the Offense. Kimani the Defense. Tom the rebounding and GM responsibilities while all of them still being involved in recruiting and player development and scouting of future opponents. The rosters of the last two years have been magnificently pieced together to optimize this new approach. Players with athletic talent and excellent BBIQ that can function and process the offense and its optionality has been epic. Our starting five this year were exceptional processors of this offensive scheme developed by Luke and Dan. The system now is about finding the right players for the "organization" and its culture. Not always about who is the highest rated recruit with some skill set that can play hero ball. [/QUOTE]
