Message: [QUOTE="boog204, post: 2073904, member: 880"] Khalid is the difference between us being a historically good team and a great one. I still remember reading about how on his recruiting visit he became the leader of the team and was telling people where to go and what to do. We do not win in 99 without him and you could make the argument that without 99 there is no 04, etc. Without Khalid, JC would have remained that coach who could not win the big one as was his rep prior. One thing I'm a little concerned/confused with is that our style has changed a great deal. Now I know you need players, etc. but as evidenced above, we have some talent. I was reliving past glory by watching the '14 championship game and in that first half we ran some fantastic stuff. Constant motion, screening, screens for the screener, it was gorgeous to watch. Obviously, we had two of the best guards in the country. But what the hell happened to that offense? You can't blame it on having a poor frontcourt, as Amida was one of those guys in 14. We're now so content on just pounding the ball and taking contested long jumpers. Very disheartening. [/QUOTE]
