[QUOTE="MtnWasp, post: 998923, member: 4110"] I think Leatherneck has his finger squarely on the issue. While the dynamics are largely multi-factorial, I think this season comes down to culture shock after a coaching transition. While the talent pieces have not, but rarely, come together in a complimentary way, the foundation of what Stoudamire wants to build his team around did not resonate effectively with the players. Everyone is trying, but there has not been a synergy. Instead of the team toughening-up, their confidence is blown. Even players that had been playing well are no longer playing well. We know what we got with this squad and it is a failure. Does Stoudamire deserve criticism? He is ultimately accountable. However, he has a foundation in mind in which to build something moving forward. In that regard this team may have been a sacrificial lamb. But if it happens again with another set of players, then it could be that this coach is simply too far advanced for college players to understand him. We've probably all have had brilliant college professor who couldn't make even the simplest of concepts comprehensible to his students. Haters will get their licks in this year. We'll see if the coach can silence them. He'll get his chance as long he doesn't want out. [/QUOTE]
