If resources are equal, Gerry is a more capable coach than Hodgson. He has the right demeanor, he actually can control a game from the sideline. He can play call. Hodgson does none of this. Hodgson has played in atrociously skilled leagues and has been the bully with more athleticism and physical ability. His teams don't think the game because they never have to. Notice when they were good today? when they got down by 23 and just turned it into chaos, they were drawing dead in the half court. I'm not basing this off one day of viewing, I follow and watch the AAC closely. He won with more talent, not coaching. His teams also play with an edge that borders as annoying at best, dirty at worst (ie Enis leg lock today).

never have understood why he's viewed as the slam dunk and Gerry the reach. Gerry has more upside, and the lower floor when it gets painted almost the opposite. There are concerns for Gerry, sure - but it's going to be up to those around this place to give him the support ($) he needs.

Hodgson is what he is - a talent accumulator with no in-game chops. He'll raise the floor of any program he goes to because of his ability to get talent - but If he only has equal talent in the Big East, he's going to be in for a rude awakening.
