[QUOTE="dtm1997, post: 177956, member: 572"] If I had to identify BG's weaknesses, they'd be bad luck, inconsistent recruiting (this has potentially been improved, but also has potential for improvement), and in-game management & adjustments (he brought on an assistant with head coaching experience last year and has been mandated to make offensive changes). If you listen to him in pre-game & post-game interviews, dude really does know hoops inside & out. Driving in-game execution & mental toughness of the players has been the issue. If our players had confidence in their ability to execute, we're at least a .500 team overall with a win over Louisville. Instead, we were what we were. That starts at the top. I hate dook with a passion, but when it's time to put a game away, they step on your throat and will beat you by 20, 30, or 40 points. Coach K drives that. We slip up with comfortable leads and end up losing. This has been a trait of many GT teams, but with his job on the line, he needs to teach stepping on throats. BG certainly has the chance to turn things around if he can win with this senior-laden team and convince enough quality recruits (and there happens to be lots of quality in 2016 & 2017 classes) to take the plunge for playing time, education & ACC hoops. Time to see if he can do it. [/QUOTE]
