RE: 2 observations from Wed game

[Gary Rowe]

Ultimately Huggs is responsible for everything that occurs on the team. He is the CEO so to speak and can delegate, but it is his program, his kids and his accountability. It is also his decision to remove supporting staff that doesn't perform to his expectations.

It seems the big men have trouble with
1) effort
2) defensive positioning (I think Huggins said they were playing behind the
players in the post rather than fronting them)
3) rebounding

The question is whose responsible for these failures the players, Huggins or
Kennedy?

I don't buy the argument that you had to be a center yourself in order
to coach centers. I believe that is what is being implied.

Pete Newell is famous for his big man camp, but I'll bet he is about 6
feet tall.

Besides at 6-6 or 6-7, Kennedy was more likely a forward.  I do know
that Kennedy was a top 100 player when he came out of HS in 1986.

As for AK, this has been discussed extensively over on
Jax's forum.  Some think he's not cutting it as a big
man coach because he was a gaurd.  I'm skeptical that
we can completely pin everything on Andy.

The rap is, of course, he's done a poor job developing
the post players.  Since arriving at UC, he has had
Donald, Rod, BJ, Max, and JD to work with at some
point.  We know three of these guys, Donald, BJ and
Rod, have work habits which are questionable at best.
Max is still young, and he had JD only one season.

Andy may shoulder some of the blame, but there are two
many other variables involved to positively correlate
that.  Ooops, now I'm starting to sound like Dr.
Breiner ;-)
