That when pro players tell stories about their college coaches that it is often a 'he is like a father to me, I owe him everything and I love him - but thank god I'm never going to have to play for him again'
I know we all learn and change and grow, but in reading that article MM posted above, it tells some great stories about how and why it didn't work before in the NBA for him, and it wasn't all his fault, and each section ends with a 'I'm sure he learned from that' type quote - but there was no 'he learned from that and here is an example of how he has changed, or something he does differently now'
Amin went on to say Phil is not going to abandon the triangle and Cal is not going to change what works, and his style has worked, but it won't work in the NBA.
I have no idea, I watch zero college basketball, maybe Cal's style has evolved. What say you guys that follow that sort of thing? The only time I see Cal is at the draft and he does seem to act like the proud father who is just a little too happy to be sharing in the player's spotlight. But if my job were to recruit high school players Id be trying to get that draft day spotlight too, not to stroke my ego but because I need that blue chip kid to see me on ESPN again
