If you can't build it, they won't come

Weber left himself visibly deficient at point guard on every team after Dee Brown left. I beg you not to cite McCamey's gaudy assist numbers as a junior as counter-evidence. It reached crisis proportions at times, as even the departure of the do-nothing Jordan could not be overcome when nary an able backup PG existed in his stead.

Weber all but doesn't have a PG in this, his last season, with ghastly low assist numbers out of his Sam Maniscalco-Tracy Abrams duo and a team slate that shows more turnovers than assists virtually every game.

I see a college coach who tries to build a team without a PG and I think of Dave Wannstedt, a football coach who tried to build teams without an offensive line. It's beyond belief they don't understand the leadpipe necessity of having such positions filled.
