My guess is that with his suspension the focus was on running plays for the guys that were going to be playing in the first 3 games. He's also still playing (relatively) low minutes, so he hasn't been the focal point. With a week off from games, I think we'll start to see that change against Maine on Sunday.Why aren’t they running anything for him?
Why aren’t they running anything for him?
Because he doesn't want to lose the older guys. Soon.Why aren’t they running anything for him?
Surprised we are not hearing more Rip comparisons. His game is a lot more like Hamilton's than any of the others. It's been two games but you can see that he has that way of getting to his spots and you are surprised when the ball doesn't go in.
Dean Smith did less with more than probably any coach ever.Hurley is still spoon feeding all the freshman. You can see it easier with Gaffney. He isn't asked to do too much right now. The frosh are still being evaluated as they settle in. With Akok, you can see he has been given more responsibility on the defensive end. Few plays, if any, are run for any of them.
Hurley is also still figuring out what the team needs. He knows how he wants to play. He needs to see how the frosh can help him implement his system.
It was once said that Dean Smith was the only man who could hold Michael Jordan under 20 points a game. There's a lot of truth in that. Smith won a national championship largely because his teams played as a team.
Building the cohesion that Hurley wants will be the focus of the pre-conference part of the schedule. Working the freshman in (rather than having them take over) is the way to build a program. It's a lesson other coaches could learn from.
Eight final fours. Won two. He wasn't the best coach ever but he was definitely respectable.Dean Smith did less with more than probably any coach ever.
He’s in a class with the guys DH mentions in that interview.I know people are comparing him to JLamb, but they're wrong. Bouknight is better

Calipari is still way worse with much more. Put Boeheim on that list as well.
He's obviously a good coach but he probably had more talent than any coach in history and only won 2. Some people still talk about him like he's the greatest coach ever.Eight final fours. Won two. He wasn't the best coach ever but he was definitely respectable.

I think I could have coached the 1982 team to a NCAA championship with Jordan, Perkins and Worthy! Not to even mention McDonald All-Americans on team like Matt Doherty, Jim Braddock and Buzz Peterson.Dean Smith did less with more than probably any coach ever.
