Did you see how, in the first third of yesterday’s game, we played possibly the worst defense in the history of the program? And then in the next two thirds, there was a 180-degree change? All with the same roster. So, a “talent” deficiency was not remedied with a snap of the fingers. That’s coaching. Preparedness, scheme, lineup, motivation. Coaching. If we had played D with similar intensity and intent in previous games, we’d have a more respectable record.

Coaching. Because it’s the Team that needs to be managed.

Secondly, re: roster construction in the offseason—people always blame an insufficient NIL budget, yet two other factors should be considered. 1) Players being paid less have outperformed us, because they Know How To Play; 2) Some potential transfers did not choose us, potentially because they had no trust in our staff, (lack of system), and saw the rampant dysfunction of last year.

Coaching.

Yeah, you can potentially Buy your way to more wins that we have now. But you still have the underlying, foundational problems, which then diminish your returns.
