Playing to strength

Read this article about Lorenzo Romar and his young Washington Huskies.  For context, you may want to research last year's Washington Huskies, which turned into a true dumpster fire after starting the season 11-0 and being ranked as high as #13.

Here's what Romar is dealing with:
Of the Huskies’ seven top scorers from last season, three transferred, two graduated, and one was kicked off the team.
What he's left with is a talented but raw group of freshmen.  So how are they first in the Pac-12?  Glad you asked:
“Make no mistake about it, we are going run, play an up-tempo style. Our length and athleticism will be a strength (as will) the fact that we have multiple players that can make plays.”
Jealous yet?

Next time you see four freshmen sitting on the bench while some of our "experienced veterans" flounder on the court, just ask yourself, is our coach adjusting to his team, or is he trying to jam a square peg into a round hole night after night?

Mark Fox seems to have the X's and O's, and he finally has some Jimmy's and Joe's...so why isn't it adding up to more?
