[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1318210, member: 588522"] First off, I'm pretty sure there have been reports of rifts between players and Gard. To me, this year will show his true coaching chops (we've seen how well an incompetent coach can be given a decent roster). They lost some of the most experienced players to ever be on a team together. Thanks for sharing this... I think it's pretty easy to sum up Groce's tenure here in one word--Stubbornness. Seems he also sees how loyalty and "tradition" can come to bite you, wish he could've realized that 3 years ago. I've wondered if that first year here gave him too big of a head. OK, dead horse beating over. [/QUOTE]
