Message: [QUOTE="ConnHuskBask, post: 2059532, member: 632"] If [USER=6716]@AntG168[/USER] is going to proclaim that he did better than Calhoun, it's just flat out untrue. For all the players that left the 2011/2012 team, the 2012/2013 still had a lot of talent: Junior Napier, Sophomore Boatright, Sophomore Daniels, Junior Giffey, Freshman (healthy) Calhoun. KO did a nice job keeping the program moving forward, but that was an NIT (had they been eligible) team, plain and simple. I'll reiterate that I still think KO is the man for the job, but aside Napier morphing into the best player in college basketball in 2013/2014, we haven't been able to run consistent offense, we start games poorly, we make dumb plays over and over again, our bigs can't box out and when we are faced with in game adversity we usually fall apart. The talent the past few years isn't classic UConn, that's a given and can be attributed to the ban and scholarship reductions, but there is absolutely enough talent that 1 NCAA tourney appearance in that time span is an indication of poor coaching. We're getting worked over in an AAC schedule yearly. I think the only reason that all of us aren't recognizing the huge issue is that we are feasting on AAC dredges, where as putting together a few 12 win seasons in the old Big East would have turned some heads.
