Message: [QUOTE="Tenspro2002, post: 2539098, member: 889"] I said player and team development, and should have been more specific on each. Players: juniors Purvis, Facey, and Brimah, as well as sophomore Hamilton, should have been developed better. Obviously KO has nothing to do with development of grad transfers Gibbs and Miller. Team: Gibbs actually was an excellent shooter, but was miscast by KO as a ball-dominant guard. He couldn't blow by anyone, couldn't create late in the shot clock (which itself shouldn't be necessary, but this was KO's offense after all). By December this board was calling for Gibbs to be moved off the ball, where he was a great spot-up threat. KO didn't start doing that until March. He also did a bad job of integrating Miller, who was the highest-IQ big we've had since Okafor and could do just about anything, including shoot from the perimeter. The offense should have run through him. The whole being much less than the sum of the parts, and several of the parts falling short of expectations, fall on the head coach. [/QUOTE]
