Personally, I'd just like to see more out of him on the court because he just seems real passive on the bench.

I think that's valid. I could not help but wonder why some of our players kept making some of the same fundamental/correctable mistakes over and over last year.

But to take it further, I'd like to see his personality more in trying to get fans more engaged.

We are one of the few schools in the country where baseball is more popular than hoops and while better talent will certainly help there's alot to overcome in what we lost in the passion of our fan base for hoops. The few quality winning teams we had still struggled to get attention.

I realize he's a very different person that Dale, and I'm mostly just fine with that. But it wouldn't hurt to channel a little Daddy Dale in the promoting department.
