He's had growing edges every season, and he's responded well to a number of them.

Difficulty in closing our close games has been an identified issue in seasons 2, 3, and 4. And there has been improvement in this area during each season, but there hasn't yet been strong carryover, so that the process has needed repeating in 3 seasons where play and seedings have been unusually impacted by COVID. Such a lack of program development in this realm has taken resources away from other areas that need attention & progress.

I really don't know if he'll learn. I'd really like him to. It's where my attention is concentrated.

There is a strong current of pessimism among the frustrated and disappointed. It may turn out to be warranted and it may not. That's not where my attention is concentrated.

Six losses, 30 total points, to Izzo, Huggins, and 4 more experienced Big East coaches.

Closeout victories (yes, with glitches that resulted in three OT games and four extra periods) over Auburn, VCU, St Bonaventure, Marquette, and St John's.

The product on the court often looks worse than the record says. We are what our record says. It'll tell us more this week
