If you lose three McDAA types after one year in the program together you kinda do. Look at UNC last season. However, after looking at this thread, I see for the first time in a while some thoughtful critiquing of where the program is at and the rationale behind it, specifically as it pertains to Capel.
I have no idea why he is coaching in-game the way he is, and a big part of our problem is getting behind in the first half, but it seems pretty obvious to me who our best players are (in no particular order):
Cade Davis
Pledger
Fitz
Newell
Clark
The problem is that three of these guys essentially play the same position and Fitz alone isn't going to get it done on the boards. That said, I'd start these five every game and try to get them as much time out there as possible before making substitutions. Oh, and my other brilliant idea that no coach has ever listened to me on is when conference play starts, never EVER start the bigs you want to get the most minutes (I hate that about our conference officiating).
