I remember reading an article where JB mentioned the facility and equipment in the Melo center and how that allowed him to still coach at his age and not having to run from place to place during practices, how he can watch players on his screens, how he needs to keep things simple.

On recruiting it's the assistant coaches doing all of the relationship building and JB is the closer.

You can clearly see with other BB program the players talked about their relationships with their HCs, they saw Roy Williams, Izzo, Calipari, K as their dads away from home, here at cuse I think the assistants act as buffers and JB is the overlord, the players don't really bond with JB, he gives an order, the AC interprets and relay to the players.

May be the problem isn't so much JB, but the static system and structure he has created to allow him to still coach at his age with as little effort as possible.  I mean that's why he surrounded himself with ex players right?  I am sure loyalty is part of it, but ex players know his system, do not need training to learn his system, will not challenge his decisions.  Simplicity above everything else.
