We all know that Dan is nothing like JB off the court......in all aspects of running a program Dan is far better....just that he can't win the big games either....
When it comes to the bottom line [winning] there isn't much difference right now.....
Exactly this.
Blue, I'm not talking about anything other than inside the lines. Frankly I couldn't give a damn about anything except winning games. As long as we picking up ncaa violations, just win baby.
What I am saying is when it comes to coaching basketball games, Hurley and Baron are cut from the same cloth.
Both fail to win close games
Both are close but no cigar against good teams (with a few rare exceptions for both)
Both fall to make adjustments in game
Both roll the ball out on offense and try to score by out athlete'ing the other team
Both are good enough to bring a program to a point but are NIT quality coaches.
The difference is Baron closed the book with that legacy. Hurley has time to recognize his faults and make changes to the staff to cover them
