Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4188620, member: 6696"] It's both personnel and coaches. It seems like we have started recruiting the types of guys to beat these guys (Diggins, Karaban, hopefully griffiths... even Floyd to an extent). We also can't change who our current players are, and they are working their tails off to get better for this program. The reality is with Hurley's current skillset, beating these HOF coaches or winning close games is going to be more challenging than it should be. I'm ready for the over-the-top responses on this board from the Hurley haters and his stans. The reality is somewhere in the middle. Hurley has 90% of what it takes to be an elite coach. He has a couple hiccups like inflexibility on offense and refusal to play much of any zone that are holding him back. I still have faith we can take steps to get to elite status if our coach keeps working hard to improve and leaves his ego behind, but it won't happen mid-season. [/QUOTE]
