But he wasn't that play in 2 of the last 3. Nobody coming in next year is going to be an immediate upgrade on Adams. Not even close. I honestly never much loved Calhoun's offenses, especially late in his career. But basketball was different in the 90's on 00's than it is now. Ollie ran an offense straight out of 1991. Hurley's is better than that, but it's lacking something. If you are relying on your guy to beat his man one on one, in order for the offense to work....in 2018, then you aren't running a modern offense. I think he's a great coach and a perfect fit. I am not really worried. I think it's mostly going to take some time before these guys "get it" and run the offense properly. So many horrible habits, bad rushed or guarded shots, not passing the ball, not moving off the ball, ball screeners rolling long before the guard gets to the screen. I'll add that in many cases these turnovers come because the guys think "I need to pass" and throw it away. Sometimes they pass up easy shots and throw the ball away, then the next time they should pass and force it. At moments they look good and it works. Then the defense adjusts and they go back to bad habits. What this team could really use is a coach on the floor level player. Hoped Gilbert would be that but not so far. We obviously also need a front court that can catch and score. Somebody like Shonn Miller would make this team so much better. [/QUOTE]
