taking a good energetic assistant isn't a bad thing.

I'd rather fall on my face trying with a new coach than settling for mediocrity. What's so hard to grasp about those 2 things?

Its like in baseball. Would you rather watch the 3rd strike or go down swinging? Sure thats a simple analogy but 17ing most things in life aren't complicated.

We put ourselves in this basketball situation. It may get worse before it gets better, but at least we are giving a 17 and trying.
