Dan Hurley’s seeing production, toughness from Josh Carlton; AAC coaches tout league parity - Hartford Courant
“This is really kind of Josh’s freshman year,” Hurley said Monday, leading off the first of the season’s monthly conference calls with AAC coaches. “I know he’s a sophomore, but he didn’t play consistent minutes last year. This is the first time in his college career he is being asked to have the role he’s been asked to have, baptism by fire. He’s taken some lumps, learned some hard lessons. He’s starting to understand the motor, intensity level you have to come out with.”
“The activity level he’s played with,” Hurley said, “the challenge is, can he take the step for is, where we’d have somebody we can through the ball inside to? He’s improving defensively, his work on the backboard, can we take even another step?”
