Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 2203693, member: 2524"] I'm not saying the "Chill is a great developer of players" story is false. Only that the story should be "the UConn staff, and especially head coach Ollie, is great at developing players." As far as Isaiah Thomas's development goes, you never know how much credit belongs to Chill vs other coaches, and also how much belongs to Isaiah Thomas. Opposing coaches can say, if Chill is so great at development, why didn't any of the other dozen roster players on Washington develop enough to combine with Markelle Fultz and create a winning team? Ollie's development of Christian Vital, Vance Jackson, and Kentan Facey last year was more impressive. Getting to 16 wins with a decimated squad was more impressive. They need to sell the head coach and the staff as a whole, and show that the negative recruiting is wrong. [/QUOTE]
