Basketball has been over nearly a month, and I'm still undecided on how to view the season.
Naz's bum hips, obviously cost the team a few games, maybe a shot at the conference title, a better seed in the NCAA's, and a run at the big banner. So it goes. You need a lot of luck with your health to win the big prizes.
Prohm was wise to let the team fail a bit doing things the old way
before laying down the lay that his way was the only way. It's
unfortunate that he couldn't make the old-way-failure occur sooner.
For all of Fred's weaknesses as a coach, mostly defensively, he is clearly a master psychologist. We now have numerous examples of players who managed well under his supervision, but were head cases outside of it.
Hopefully sacrifices that were made in the interest of long term health of the program will pay off.
In a league that is this consistently good, to be a program in the top half of the league each year is to be celebrated. The Niang years may also be viewed as a period of just missing out, not getting the break they needed.
