He makes them better players because of it. Howland isn't doing that at all so they aren't growing and learning as well as they should be.
They had him mic'ed up last night. I thought he was doing an excellent job of pointing out mistakes without putting his player down. He was very positive and instructional. Seems like the kind of coach you would want to play for. You are barking up the tree 61. We are the youngest team in college basketball. I know everyone wants it now, but it takes time.
