Message: [QUOTE="dennismenace, post: 4254335, member: 6158"] I don't believe that the BY complaints are at all about a simple false dichotomy argument framed by a Calhoun vs Hurley demands. Calhoun is a point of reference and Hurley is fast becoming a point of reference. He is being outcoached in-game and possibly pre-game. It is x's and o's. He has demonstrated a lack of response to adjustments made by opponents that has been his Achilles heel above all. Many people on the BY have repeatedly suggested that if h can't handle that himself he should assign that to the staff at least for now. It appears that he is ignoring the obvious and sadly thinking if he gets everyone hyped up enough he can control the situation instead of thinking through and adjusting his tactics. The complaint most often heard is either stubbornness to change on this and/or acknowledging he needs to ask for help if he cannot (more obviously) do this himself. There are more than a few very knowledgeable contributors on the board who know basketball and coaching (I am not one of them) and they seem to me to be in united agreement more on this point than anything else. That is the problem and setting up false dichotomies (either JC/ or Dan Hurley) about the issue of comparing JC to Dan Hurley is a wishful thinking that the "fans" need to grow up and stop doing that. It is not going to stop until he stops because it is obviously leading to failure despite all the hard work, hustle and willingness of the team and staff to follow the leader. His contract allows him the financial comfort to not have to do anything different at this point but eventually this will catch up with him if he does not change. One last point which may or may not be relevant but I think it is imho. JC's mentor was Red Auerbach. Who is/was Dan Hurley's?? [/QUOTE]
