Message: [QUOTE="Rico444, post: 3080406, member: 263"] 1) Hurley has been here 12 months. 2) Coaches have very limited time with the players over the summer. He's essentially been coaching him up for 6 months, not 16. If Jalen and Alterique didn't get hurt we probably get to 20 wins...outside of them and Carlton, though, the rest of the players aren't good enough to hang with good teams. Ollie was the one that brought in these players, that's why two non-postseason years in a row are so damning. Let Hurley bring in his own guys and work with the players he had forced on him for more than 6 months...I guarantee you next year will look better than this. I don't care if you're Jim Calhoun; no coach can survive coaching up a team full of players that aren't that talented - and he didn't even recruit - AND have your two best players get hurt and miss multiple games. Every single coach in America is going to struggle in that situation. [/QUOTE]
