Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 2446908, member: 55"] It's absolutely fair to say they quit against Arkansas. Again, I'm not defending KO. But making a rational case against him among UConn fans is not helped by idiotic hyperbole. Personally, a lot of this crap about psychologically how into it he is strikes me as crap. I think we have learned fairly definitively at this point, however, that he is not going to put in an offense that will work for the level of talent that we have or play to their strengths. Let's look at Larrier for example. He is not a good enough ball handler or passer to be a star if he has to make one on one plays against a set defense. On the other hand, he is a talented enough scorer that if you run plays to get him open looks -- or even space to put the ball on the floor where the D is already out of position and moving to have stopped a previous attack -- he can be a really good player. What adds to this frustration is that we see this issue with his coaching while, at the same time, we've moved career x and o guys like Blaney and Miller out of the program. Again, a case can be made. But throwing in lines like we quit against MSU just weakens it. [/QUOTE]
