Unless I read the article incorrectly KFree was only responsible for naming the drill and not for its implementation or even the execution of the drill. That was done by KO. Kfree dubbed it the Chamber Drill.
That's what the reporter was told.
While I agree with you that implementation and execution is not Freeman's role, there are ways he can add influence to team improvements.
Ollie is not the creator or owner of every drill, there is a staff that discusses the problems and solutions. Ollie only makes the decision, however sometimes he needs no discussion. I know you know all this, but Freeman is limited on the court but is involved in problem solving. Who knows who's idea it was but its shows the diversity and the experience of the coaching staff. Introducing a major new drill in mid-season is desperate and aggressive, but shows the staff's unwillingness to live with our rebounding problem. Most importantly it shows Ollie knows how to get things done.
Great Coach we have. Greater Coach if it works next game and the next...... (i.e. execution).
Problem with all college coaches is that you have post-teenagers really doing the execution. Hell of a way to make a living, depending on youngsters for job security.
