And I'm not talking about belittling comments about our players or coaching staff. I'm talking about actually diagnosing what the flaws were with what the coaches do. Because I watched a lot of games last year, can tell you what offense we run, sets we ran, and defenses we ran. I don't think FIJI can do that. So he uses vague terminology that fans who think they know basketball use. Spacing, putting players in a position to succeed, etc. The offense we were running was the same as some very successful programs. It was the same offense Kim used to win a D2 national title at UCM and the same that was schooling Frank Haith's Mizzou team for a long time 3 years ago. I have coached high school basketball before and know the game well. So the take of someone who has never coached a day of basketball before like FIJI is always entertaining.
