My #1 must have is that we need a disciplinarian, basically a dude with a true bad cop mentality. We see what a bunch of good cops on the staff and HC looks like in CNY now and it leads to 5 losses by a basket or two.
The new coach has to strike the fear of god into these kids most of which will be pulled out of the portal and ride them hard so they don’t fall apart against Hofstra or on the road to BC or be dropping games by a basket.
It’s the lack of toughness that has plagued this program for a decade now and needs to change.
Just because we clean house doesn’t mean that fans will just buy back in suddenly and fill out the dome or the ACC is going to give us an easy run.
The new staff and team are going to have to go to war to dig the program out of the grave for real on the court not just with a bunch of Instagram work out videos and talk.
