Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 2572138, member: 889"] This is a lazy interpretation. It's not that KO had what it takes to run a major program, and then lost it. KO in 2013-14 got to run a team out of JC's recruits -- guys who came in with toughness, good basketball IQ, and eagerness to be coached and to win. He did a good job getting those guys to achieve their potential. After that, it was on him to not just run a team, but build a program -- bring in his own recruits, instill a system, and get guys to buy in. He failed. It's not that he fundamentally changed as a coach. It's that he was fine at only having to do a small portion of the job, and was woefully in over his head at running the entirety of the program, which is what many of us were worried about at the outset. His demeanor and effort went downhill because he realized he had no idea what he was doing, not the other way around. [/QUOTE]
