Yes in all fairness I saw some obvious changes on the sideline last year, mostly he wasn't angrily barking all the time and while his sub patterns were better, he still seemed to have a yank em until they learn attitude.

The team was a little more cohesive but needs to be a lot more, and that is part of what gives me hope this time around, Acker seems to have filled the cupboard with a higher potential cohesiveness factor (just my guess based on looking into each new signed player and their social media and reports on them).

While well balanced and I think fairly deep, we don't have much DI proven talent, if any really. That is a big concern but understandable, we can't whip out the NIL checkbook and offer a guy like Sykes $1.5 million. What a joke the last few years have been in college hoops!
