Again, every year he played Jalen out of position.

What was emphasized to Jalen? Nothing that we know of. Jalen could play how he wanted, and was never corrected.

Jalen’s shot being low and awkward. That’s coaching.

The lack of talent besides Jalen is also a factor in how he plays now. Recruiting is on the coach.

A lack of quality offense, in which Jalen could learn to use his skills in the context of, instead of one on one or drive and pass. Coaching.

No one else got better either. That’s coaching.

To me this is a silly conversation. It’s a coach’s job to make players better. Jalen needed to put in work too, but it’s obvious the coach’s didn’t either.

Furthermore, it’s clear he’s coachable. You can tell by his reaction to being punished (immediate acceptance) and his relationship with both Hurley and Ollie. He’s been loyal to the program, and wants to improve. He needed to be shown how.

He would have been a different player under a better coach.
