[QUOTE="Root4GT, post: 869878, member: 5618"] The ACC was once by far the best college basketball conference. It's been a while, but the days of the 8 team conference where every team had 2 or more great players was the height of college basketball for me. Watching the series the history of the ACC tournament is a stark reminder of how joyful watching ACC games were back then. Heck watching Wake, UVA, NCST, MD, Clemson was fun not to mention the two Conference Giants. Football expansion was necessary as football revenue does drive Athletic Departments. The down side is basketball is no where near as enjoyable as both the level of play is much lower and knowing the opponents players is near impossible. The ACC clearly isn't getting the quantity of great players as some of the other Conferences are. I am not sure it's because the ACC does not play the game, I think it's more they don't play it as well. The aging coaches also have an impact as dealing in the dirty world of AAU basketball is not what they grew up dealing with. This year's GT BB team was very hard to watch. They, as Red said, never seemed to fit as a team nor did they develop any real identity. They were a very poor offensive team yet they had several players who are good shooters. That speaks to poor schemes for the players on the team. The defense, which has been CJP's calling, card was simply poor this year. The team never could effectively play the zone that caused teams such trouble in prior years and our man-to-man defense was simply bad. Poor switching and rotations off the pick and roll all year. I hope CJP dose a deep assessment of where his program stands in comparison to the rest of the ACC and makes any changes he sees as necessary. If he just goes with the same stuff next year he will be on the hot seat for sure as the results won't be very good. [/QUOTE]
