protecting your star is one thing, but pulling a replaceable guy like jalyn patterson on the rare occasion that he is en fuego, or aaron epps when he's the only one protecting the rim. who gives a frick if josh gray gets a third foul? victor obviously needed protection last year and ben at times, but you can't just pull role players who can afford a third foul; it just fricks up the rhythm and flow.

also, he is terrible at game management in terms of working around tv timeouts and game situations with guys on 2 fouls. if blakeney is on the bench, but we've got the ball coming out of a TO or a dead ball with the chance to hold for the final possession, GET HIM BACK INT HE frickING GAME.

I never had an issue with him subbing players in foul troublex but he always subbed players that were hot and in a groove our use a dumbass timeout when the team was on a run. Hopefully the team actually presses this year too. Not that stupid 1-2-1-1 that always gets breaked but full court press or a 2-2-1 press would be nice.

For the first time since John Brady I think this team will be led by scrappiness and defense.

Also Tone, Sampson, Patterson, Epps and Hayward should provide some consistent outside shooting.
