[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1278974, member: 517079"] I know this is loony talk on this board (and in the wrong thread), but if there is one positive to Groce's "practice makes players" mentality, it's that you mold players into the type you want them to be (albeit slowly) by forcing them to learn the essentials in order to play. Yes, TJL should've been playing starter minutes wayyy earlier in the season. But would he be such a stopper without having a coach demand such before getting major tick? I don't know, could be debated both ways (i.e. maybe a good coach would just get them to do it off the bat). I'm rooting for a new coach as much as anybody on this forum, but man, I just wonder how different Groce's tenure here might've been if he'd managed to snag one of all those elite guys along the way [I know that's not saying much, but hopefully y'all feel the sentiment}.
