I don't buy that at all.  Our guys are collectively much higher rated as high school recruits.  Aside from Cumberland, nobody on that Cincinnati team is very impressive.  They simply played harder, were vastly more physical and executed an offense and defense that was designed for what they can do.

It's a different sport but the Dolphins fired their OC.  Why?  Because he came from the Patriots and runs a highly complex system that the HC knows isn't suited to the young players he's likely to have.

Hurley is trying to run an offense that works best if you are the 1993 Chicago Bulls.  It's completely unsuitable for these players.  He's asking Josh to do things he can't and not letting him do what he can.  I feel the same about Sid, who didn't play despite being a good fit to play against a team like Cinci.  Hurley had one good stretch of coaching where the team ran the offense through Bouknight, who was the first guy to touch the ball after it crossed half court for about 3 minutes.  He's the only guy on this roster who can individually collapse the defense and open things up, which Hurley's offense requires.  But most teams don't have anybody like that and still score.
