Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 3390162, member: 1414"] Correct. And I can believe this and still believe that Dan Hurley is the right guy for the job. Right now I think he simply had a vision and the guys he has don't fit his vision. Is some of that on the players? Sure. AG is certainly not living up to his billing. Carlton got worse with the added weight. Polley hasn't learned to do anything but shoot, although I see more effort to rebound lately. Vital still does dumb stuff. Sid is an enigma. But I feel comfortable blaming Hurley for the fact that Josh is the guy out catching passes beyond the line up top and handing the ball off or setting ineffective screens. It's a role he is unsuited to perform, more so now than last year. I can blame Dan Hurley for Josh chasing his man way too far away from the basket. I can blame him for an offense that relies on ball screens and yet has no good screeners or guys who can create off of a ball screen. Scrap all three of those things and this team is better. I can blame him for overvaluing time outs and not stopping runs by the other team. I see our opponents calling those time outs immediately. It's entirely fair to say that the upper classmen in particular are limited players. It's also fair to say that Hurley isn't getting the most out of them or putting them in positions that take advantage of what they do well and minimize what they do poorly. [/QUOTE]
