Message: [QUOTE="Thirty Three, post: 2387082, member: 219"] Here's where I think the issue is - Calhoun had an eye for kids who would work well in his pro style offensive system, and, most importantly, he also was able to recruit pretty high level players. KO, who runs pretty much the same offense, won a national championship with the high level recruits Calhoun brought in to play that exact same system. KO hasn't recruited nearly as well as Calhoun did (understandable) but he's still trying to run a pro style offense, and it obviously hasn't worked out too well. When you have 8 guys on the team who should be your 8th-12th men off the bench, you just can't run that type of offense effectively. It's that simple. When Calhoun had less talented teams early in his career he adjusted and ran offense (and defense) that played to the strengths of the personnel he had. Ollie does not. He continues to run the exact same pro offense, and, quite honestly, his refusal to adjust to his personnel is running this program into the ground. I'm not a negative fan, and I've have completely refrained from saying anything about the collapse of this program the past few years, but I'm at the point where I am really losing hope. We keep losing and nothing changes; Ill prepared for games, dig a big hole early, look like a team of lost puppies playing against men (no matter who we play), half hearted effort, our players have very poor fundamentals overall; boxing out, rebounding, setting picks, etc. (which is completely inexcusable). KO makes no adjustments and just keeps running the exact same offense no matter how many years in a row it has proven to be ineffective at best. I really try to be positive, but I've almost lost all hope. I'm trying to find something positive to hang on to but I seem to be grasping at air. If Ollie isn't going to make changes nothing is going to change. I think it's that simple. [/QUOTE]
