In one post you blame talent disparity, that we don't have enough talent on the floor, and that's all NIL, or lack thereof.

Yet here you are saying coaches have no leverage to get players to play or give maximum effort because players can leave...and there isn't time to establish any kind of program yet.

So if I understand you correctly,  doubling or tripling our NIL will get better talents and hence more wins?

or that won't do it because you may still end up with great talents that doesn't want to listen to the coaches and give maximum effort?  Who is out there scouting the recruits and the portal to determine who fits and who doesn't and whether they are worth the NILs they are asking?

and how much time is needed to "establish his system"?  This new world is a one year reset every year.  End of season rinse and repeat.  There is no player continuity anymore, so what is there to establish in year 3 that's different?  In this landscape a coach needs to make hard choices based on the NIL budget and get the team to gel and compete and it's a one year window.  There is nothing to establish.

If I were to believe 100% of your argument, you are saying it's all talent and individual player self motivation to give effort, the coach has no leverage and make little difference, in that case I would just fire Red and hire a student to be HC and waive his full tuiton, and take Red's salary and add that 2+ millions to the NIL and get better talents, problem solved.
