IMO, and it is one that is definitely arguable, I look at whether the team is better; not just individual development, but the team play. At this point, I don't think we look like a better team, and most of the season is over. It's a large sample size.
I know the injury argument has merit, as does the lack of a true PG, but I don't think we have progressed in terms of team play. I juxtapose that with Gard taking over at Wisky, and how quickly he turned them around. Yes, he has good players, and a system they all know, but they still started off poorly, and he got them clicking.
Groce does not have us clicking, even though he has had time this season to instruct his team. Oh, and yes, I know, lots of Freshmen. Feel free to fire away, I am playing straight man on this, allowing those with more basketball acumen to provide the punch line...just don't punch me too hard.
