Message: [QUOTE="zepfan, post: 2496206, member: 8094"] I can't argue with the fact that Ollie could be better with what he's got, but I don't think it's the biggest problem. Our personnel, collectively, is well-below other teams. I think many mistakes, inconsistency comes from this fact. Hard to play a perfect game against better competition. At some point players have to make stops, hit shots, get rebounds, make plays. Wichita State had guards on the wings who could make a ball fake or an up fake then step back and drill a 3 pointer with ease. We are not even close to that with any consistency. Ollie won a national championship in 2014 with a good team, but not the best team. He's not the idiot that many want to make him out to be. You have to have players... period. You're playing against other teams who have good coaching and players. Nonetheless, your point about Ollie needing to be better is well-taken. I just think it's only about 10% of the problem while the personnel is 90%. Just my humble opinion and maybe also my willingness to give a guy who is doing a tough job the benefit of the doubt...to many arm-chair quarterbacks on this site. :) [/QUOTE]
