Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 1959151, member: 2844"] That's a mighty big statement - a players IQ is the reflection of his coach? Is a players attitude a reflection of the coach? Are the players actions both on and off the court a reflection of the coach? So the coach is the sole dictator of how the player thinks and acts? The American may be the 7th ranked conference but during the short span of the conference life, how many NCs did Ollie win? How many Conference tournaments did he win? How many conference finals was he in? Old school, New school, players get smarter because they want to, coaches are there to supply training and basics, its up to the player to take and run with it. In my opinion, a player like AB and to some extent, RP have not improved to the highest degree because they have decided not to work on the basics. Don't be ignorant to think that if KO had another 7' big man who grasped the basics of footwork, positioning, rebounding and post moves that player would not be taking all ABs playing time. KO won a NC, he's worth quite a bit in my eyes - he's not JC but he isn't Josh P either [/QUOTE]
