I literally laughed. it felt better than crying. I was one of the people clamoring for Dino out, especially after we couldn't shoot our way out of a high school zone against Cleveland St. To my defense, I tempered my feelings after Ish's heroics, even after the UK beating. Regardless, if my only option today were BZ or Dino, give me the guy who doesn't have every single sears tie ever made.
Dino was crap when it came to half court x's o's where you couldn't just go iso (zone situations), but they played serious fucking defense and knew how to create open court opportunities. I never, ever saw a Dino coached team look as confused and lost as this bunch. And that confusion is solely reflective of a lack of leadership and direction...coaching. I have no doubt Bz is at least competent in the x's and o's of bb. But he damn sure is incapable of communicating his knowledge e.g., he can't teach the game e.g., he can't coach. I learned my lesson, the devil you know....
And I also don't want to hear the youth excuse. You have a top 5 Scoring Sr in the ACC, a top 15 scoring Jr in the ACC, top 20 recruting class, with an ALL ACC Freshman (who was a top 5 rebounder int he ACC).
You want to see youth? go see what Tommy Ammaker is doing over there at Harvard. 4 freshman 5 sophmores and 1 sr who gets about 8.5 pts a game. Go see how many times he let teams come in and consistently destroy them by 25 + points. none. biggest loss was 19 and it happened once. Don't give me any "were in the acc though" crap either. Radford, Iona, and Nebraska are not traditional powerhouses.
