[QUOTE="The Bell Tolls for Thee, post: 132343910, member: 1812660"] Who built this roster? Even assuming your premise is completely true, how do you rationalize that WVU under Huggins has a bunch of players who "won't listen" as often as not over the last decade? How did Bob Huggins become the 3rd winningest coach in NCAA history? How did he get those previous players to listen, but not these current ones? Again even if what you say is true, it is obvious Huggins has lost something be it motivating, adapting, recruiting, developing, or keeping up with the changing landscape of college basketball. See Catlett. He had nine 20 or more win seasons and 7 NCAA tournament appearances in his first 14 seasons at WVU. He had two 20 or more win seasons and 1 NCAA tournament appearances in his last 10 seasons at WVU. Everyone gets older and loses their acumen over time. Some faster than others and the physical goes faster than the mental. But a man on the verge of 70 years old is almost certain to be less in all aspects. It is all the harder for that aged man to perform at an elite level that only a few hundred people on the planet can do at any given time. [/QUOTE]
