Message: [QUOTE="August_West, post: 2634165, member: 1047"] What Rodney had trouble with on the Uconn teams was purely on Rodney and Rodney is the first one to say that. Ollie put him positions to succeed repeatedly and Rodney just couldn't get over the hump. The other part of that was simply team make up. Rodney obviously thrives on open court, and to start every season here Ollie paid lip service to being an open court team but then the items needed to actually be an open court team didn't materialize as expected, eg rebounds and good outlet passers. Rodney also became an excellent defender on Uconn. It happens . It's like 22. I blame Ollie for not getting the kid to engage properly on defense. But does anyone blame Ollie for 22's handle which was worse than hasheem thabeets? I don't and no one should. That one is purely on 22. [/QUOTE]
