Me personally... I opt to what JC was told by John Wooden many years ago... JW told JC... "You must get good players." ...Maybe Chief00 can shed some similar thoughts or something different. Please someone correct me if I am mistaken about this. Did I read it JC's book...not sure but I do remember that comment from him - I believe.... Caliparai gets excellent players but is unable to keep them long enough to make a powerhouse team. Everything is 1 and done. Gives him 20+ wins and keeps him in his job.

I am convinced Dan Hurley can coach as well as anybody... My view of him is what he brings with him to secure 'good' players. I think he has the network to do that. I still think KO's problem was his marriage - after stepping into a JC (basically) assembled team. IMO, give Dan Hurley a couple of cycles and an injection of his blood. Still think Cole is truly an amazing talent... that should be a bit of a clue.

How long? Administrative people (feeling pressures) make decisions like these... not folks with deep understanding of basketball and the current landscape. Ugh..
