@Cussfun92 – 
The difference between a college AD and a pro team’s GM is that the college AD presides over all the school’s teams, not just one. So, expecting the same singe-focus and dedication to the basketball program is not reasonable. It is very reasonable to expect a hybrid position.

The difficulties become those of hierarchy. Who makes the calls, who has final decisionmaking authority. Kline has to work with the HC, and decisions, objectives, targets have to be aligned.

Since we have reason to question Red’s practice and game floor acumen, we should be wondering how Red may have compromised Kline’s work. But I think it’s more realistic to believe:
• Kline is good
• The roster is much better than the game/record/standings results
• Scouting vs acquisition is always a compromise based on a) resources [NIL], b) program status, 3) recent results [tourny and NBA draft picks in recent years, 4) relationships and trust established in the ‘recruiting of transfers, potential/eventual transfers.
