Message: [QUOTE="BUConn10, post: 2440269, member: 5075"] Outside of Chill which seems to be slotted as a recruiting specialist based on his resume (which I believe every top tier program always needs), has anyone considered the fact that our staff is really actually made up of [I]3 [/I]Kevin Ollie's in a way? We have so much invested in the "keep coaching in the JC family" that we kind of seem to be glossing over the fact that three quarters of our staff are essentially first time coaches at the D1 collegiate level, and this isn't some low/mid-major starter gig, this is the big leagues. The progressive loss and replacement of guys like Hobbs and especially Miller seem to have had affect on the court preparation moreso than the off court duties like recruiting which was I believe the focus of the staff changes in the first place. Our offense under Ollie post-2014 has always been anemic in a way, and even still at times under Shabazz was so as well but that crew had the perfect cast to make the system/vision become a reality (namely an all-time great collegiate guard in his final encore). But this year man... even in the games against the cupcakes where the score [I]technically [/I]states we won the game were ugly to watch, moreso than in the past, and I think we as a fan base may have overlooked the value guys like Miller brought our team in that regard, I know I personally overlooked GM's contributions looking back on it now. Even our defense which has always been our core philosophy, what always gave UConn Men's Basketball their signature edge and always kept us in any game despite the advertised disparities in offensive star power as of late has been MIA.
