Someone asked about Baby's comment on Moto, here it is:
Being "more comfortable with" the previous staff does not necessarily mean that the players like them. For the final time, the players did not like our former HC (except for DGreen). Their opinions varied, but he was not liked. However, he was all they knew. They learned some things from him. Among those things were that if you were a marginally good player who was recruited by that coach and threatened to transfer if things didnt go the way you liked, then you pretty much got what you wanted.
There is a new sheriff in town. When a rising junior goes in to the new HC and says that he wants to play one position and not another, and if he cant play where he wants to play then he will transfer, then the new HC says, "fine, good luck to you."
In this case, it means that we are much better off with our basketball program than we were few months ago. Things are moving in the right direction.
This seems odd to me. Wouldn't Manning have simply said, "Sure. Work on your ballhandling and jumper and I'll let you compete for the job." Our threes are Rountree and Gmac. It's not like we're stacked at the 3. I know people have claimed Gmac looks good, but so did Cam Stanley and Steve Lepore. He's a skinnier version of Moto with no jumper. I just don't see Manning letting him go that easily.
