Re: 2024 Coaching Carousel

Re: Men's Basketball Transfer Carousel and Portal - 2024-25
No problem with Ways and Zek staying. Ways is still raw, good athlete...who knows, could be a decent back up and he did have a few flashes! Zek I'm definitely fine with.

The last few minutes is why I'm queasy about Archie. Dubsky 2 3's. Then totally abused on defense. The kid is not quick enough on D. Play a zone with him in there. Coach to your players abilities. Show some flexibility Archie. That's a good coach. The ability to adjust in game. He never does.
