[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 144390, member: 2299"] Your point about his size and athleticism is moot because those aren't the only two natural qualities that relate to basketball. Being able to see the court, predict what you and your opponent will do, analyze, during the game, and understand not only what the opposing team is doing but also what you you need to do to counter that is as much a natural gift as sheer size, and can cause an issue to teach someone who don't do those things as naturally as the coach did. I have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to post play. So explain if you want. Your point about recruiting was ignored because it's a red hearing. A guy who's been in college 10 years as an assistant and another 6 as a head coach will have more recruiting ties, both to highschool/AAU coaches as well as to quality assistants, than a guy who has 3 total years of college experience. Trying to equate those two scenarios as both not being prepared is absurd. Recruiting, especially for basketball, at GT is not nearly as different than other schools as people make it out to be. That's an easy excuse that people make and run with it. And no, gregory wasn't the most not Price. He was the most not Hewitt. Both on the court, in terms of style, as well as off the court in superficial ways. Gregory wasn't the best anything we could get. He was a lazy hire designed to be superficially different than our previous coach, without bring the differences that mattered. The opposite of gregory isn't somebody with no experience. It was a long term assistant or a successful head coach from a lower level. Price wasn't even on the spectrum, and willjust barely be so in two years. [/QUOTE]
