[QUOTE="spartansstink, post: 131970311, member: 1488840"] I think the biggest problem right now is this: Is Bobby Huggins becoming what Bobby Bowden was at FSU? A coach, who while is still pretty good, just doesn't have what it takes to get the "magic" back and in turn, takes a successful program and sets it back? Look at the evidence: 1) Been coaching for decades and been successful everywhere he's been. But can't recruit and/or develop NBA players. One would think that NBA level players would be lining up to play for a coach that has been successful as long as Huggins. Yet, its the opposite. He can't recruit them, develop them, or both. The few that have made it are all either bench/role players or had a drink of water and were gone. Either way, not someone a kid with NBA potential can look at and say "yeah, that could be me". That's what its all about today - the NBA. A Hall-of-Fame coach who can't get NBA players says something - come here and if you're lucky you'll play in Spain, at best. No NBA players, no rings. 2) Refusing to adapt. Look at typical offensive set run all year. Dribble and handoff around perimeter until pass to Gabe on top of key. Gabe pivots, looks to make entry pass into post to players who cannot make a shot because they can't shoot or are too weak physically. If not there, put head down, shoulders down, and drive hard to basket to throw up wild shot. Hope at best to draw foul and shoot free throws because nothing out of that set is going to produce points. Do this 5 times during 8 minute stretch, watch lead previously built diminish to deficit. When's the last decently run offensive set you've seen? This is going back for years. 3) Doesn't use portal, etc. of today's game to benefit team as much as possible. He likes the "old school" way of bringing in players and developing them over time. The problem with this approach ties back in with number 1. How do you maximize the potential of your team when you only have players with minimal potential? For example, Culver was never an NBA talent. Yet, start him over Oscar? Give him the lion's share of minutes? No wonder people leave. No wonder what you get in return doesn't equal up. I know that's quite a wall of text. But, I think the evidence is there. [/QUOTE]
