I think he is trying to align his actions/words better at crucial times in the game this year over previous years. He needs to determine whether his courtside manner is "working" with the refs and is it impacting calls at important times of the game...esp. crunch time. I would suggest its still a work in progress and he's still trying to figure out the proper balance. One of last his hurdles to more success in Storrs. He and his staff have many superior qualities that are lacking in other Programs.. He respects and reps the UConn brand very well. He's improving just as the players coming through the Program improve while here. He's not perfect.. As none of us are.. [/QUOTE]
