The thing that frustrated me most about this past year's team (don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled that we went 34-3 and very proud of our guys), was the lack of a reliable low-post scoring threat. I want to be an efficient and effective half-court offense team, and I think the only way you can do that is by having a guy that can score in the post.
I am really banking on DaJuan Coleman being that presence, in the mold of an upperclassman Otis Hill, Etan Thomas or AO. I desperately want him to be able to calmly back his man down, and score on short baby hooks. And if it's not there, not to get happy feet and freak out like Terrence Roberts did for 4 years, but to have the maturity to kick the ball back out to the perimeter.
That, in my opinion, is the critical variable in us being able to go to the Final Four next year.
