Message: [QUOTE="Son of Robert, post: 2506135, member: 7415"] Good post tzznandrew some dude, that's pretty much how it went. Not an easy road to be on. This team here, constructed out of necessity, is very young and new to each other. A cohesive, polished, veteran team this is not. Bunch of moving parts of varying skill sets and skill levels, right across the board. Development of their individual games to be puzzle pieced into the framework of team concepts and coordination, especially without player leadership on the floor, is quite a task. Gilbert is very missed, and his role as team leader would have grown substantially as the season continued. Yes, it seems without question that Ollie took his complete focus off the program for a period of time, personal s###t will do that to people, but I do think he has recovered and has his head back in it. He is having to adjust his coaching to fit this developing young team, and improving teamwork can be found on both offense and defense. Long way to go, no doubt, and not fast enough for most people, but continuing improvement, or not, is the barometer by which Ollie will be judged. He is not a rah rah motivator, not quite completely sure how he goes about it, but this is a coaching trait that needs to be more impactful with his players. Like Andrew said, I am rooting for this team, and this coaching staff, and I focus on being positive, however measured that may be, with this year's team. We all approach Life differently. [/QUOTE]
