for me a fundamental problem is: JB is using a multi-year model he developed over decades in a 1 year max environment

in 2023 and beyond...[U]every year will be a new roster in this version of NCAABB[/U]

not adjusting is either stubbornness or incompetence or both. i think thats why a lot of name coaches are retiring now.

players cannot learn the zone in 1 summer...generally takes at least 2 years...makes it look like a talent issue more than it is, imo

and yeah if he could have 5 stars that stick around for 3-4 years again, his system would still work great...

but he's not going to get that again. ever.

one of his "adjustments" has been to get players who stay for 3 or 4 years...but now that means lesser ranked players who arent good enough to make the zone bite, as well. (if he could still get those recruits)

needs to either adjust and adapt his system to be more flexible or ...idk retire...or something...

I wish reporter could get him to honestly answer why he doesnt adapt and adjust his system to the current reality of the sport...i suppose he just thinks his model still works and wants to proove it does...

or

it cold be a number of other reasons

maybe just doesnt have the energy to come up with something new and enjoys the experience of being the coach

maybe an honest answer just wouldnt be "okay"...

i think JB still has a lot to offer as a coach but there are holes in what he is doing that he isnt addressing and Im curious why...
