Message: [QUOTE="MyDorona, post: 4608503, member: 9397"] Hurley deserves a ton of credit for adapting his vision based on his personnel this year. Since he arrived at UConn, he has always described his ideal offense as four-out, with multiple ball handlers and four shooters. He even rebuilt the entire roster this off-season in that image. For the first time in his five seasons with UConn, I think Hurley thought he could finally execute his vision in '22-23. But, once it became apparent that Jackson was never going to stretch a defense as a shooter, Hurley modified his ideal and played to the strengths of his personnel. He also deserves credit for pivoting away from pre-season darling Samson when it became obvious that there was no role in the rotation for him. Hurley could've jeopardized this team's potential all for the sake of keeping Samson in Storrs next season. I'd imagine this was a difficult pivot. [/QUOTE]
