Obviously, no one is happy with the effort of this group thus far. The meltdown was virtually inevitable if the light didn't come on for multiple bigs. What does concern me is a poster like sportsnut starting to edge into such a hyper-position with his comments Danny's ability to coach/teach rebounding and boxing out. If a normally reasonable poster can say things like this, the rabbit hole is growing at an even more alarming rate.
Even though this team's rebounding is horrific, Danny has proven to be an excellent coach in this area. In the past three years, one of the Deacs' major strengths has been our rebounding. Not only have we been in the top tier of ACC teams in rebounding for each of those years, but Danny has implemented a scheme that turns rebounds into fast breaks seamlessly.
This year's failures on the boards is almost all on the players' efforts and lack of size. Unless you think that after about thirty years at the top levels of being coached and coaching that Danny has contracted Alzheimer's regarding rebounding.
I'm not saying Danny is going make people forget about Pop or Izzo or Jay Wright as a tactician. But teaching and coaching rebounding is a strength of his.
Barring something bizarre happening, this is going to be a long season. But let's not lose it about things that aren't so.
