Folks.....it's not the right time or place for knocking any of our players. They're the ones out there putting it in the line and Mulcahy, good and not so good, has been part of this rebuild.
I am disappointed in the results and play down the stretch, but in the bigger picture, he was pushed up into a role that wasn't designed for him to be an attack scoring guard. You would think this would be a wide open opportunity to showcase that as the leader, but he doesn't have that scoring mentality and the staff placed wayyyy too much on the plates of players like Mulcahy.
He's had a tremendous run and let's leave it at that. He played a part of 4 very solid, productive seasons that helped lift it to this point. It's clear that unless there are 4 other scoring options on the court that can generate their own shot off the dribble, Mulcahy wasn't going to be able to hide the gaps in his game.
We all are disappointed and should not be overly negative. It's clearly now on the entire coaching staff to take the momentum from the entire 3 to 4 year run and get after things in recruiting the way they have been, so we aren't in a position to ask players to do more than they're capable of. If fans want to get on Paul, I get it, I have been on this for awhile. But in the Big picture, the end of this season let us down, but isn't that truly unexpected IMO....the team needed more from Paul, he just wasn't able to provide that.
