Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4292244, member: 181"] I have sometines received criticism for pointing out writing errors, and have responded that I almost only ever do so except in response to posts or posters who have overreached or otherwise projected their post's inerrancy. Here is a post in which the penultimate sentence can be read two ways, AND provides me with delight for how its (possibly) unintended meaning struck me. As such, this comment has no criticism intended. It is an appreciative recognition. As written, it may be suggested that the only players who did not get better lost a lot of time to injury, OR lost a lot of time to Gaffney. The latter would mean that without Gaffney, Diggins and/or Floyd would have gotten more court time. I could be wrong, but it may be that what was intended was that those who didn't improve were limited to uninjured Gaffney and those who were injured. But again, I like it either way. Kromah will forever merit a special shoutout. There was a previously unfamiliar poster who was all-in on Kromah and predicted true greatness for him. In that singular instance, Kromah arrived as one of the most heavily-hyped players ever. There was really no way that anyone could ever have lived up to the hype generated by this poster. And yet, Lasan Kromah was a vital part of the 2014 NC team, who exceeded the expectations of virtually everybody on this board. I assert that no UConn player has [B] ever [B] [I] simultaneously failed to live up to trumpeted expectations AND delightfully exceeded expectations. [/I] Long live Lasan![/B][/B] [B][B]You have somewhat restated the initial query that wonder about talent development or talent identification. Bouknight has to be considered an example of at least one of those two.[/B][/B] [B][B]The question you were asked to answer referred to "coaches." "Nova" is a single example, not the plural of "novum."[/B][/B] [B][B]That's it? Thanks for sharing[/B][/B][I][B][B][I].[/I][/B][/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
