[QUOTE="Smacko, post: 1286201, member: 12450"] Having players like you doesn't win games. For a team that really loved their coach, their were a number of games that they came out and played with zero energy. Being liked by other coaches doesn't win games. Being passionate about basketball doesn't win games. I think most people agree that Groce is a likeable guy and that he tries hard at his job. The important thing is that his approach has not translated into success. He has had more than enough time to get his guys in and play his systems. They have not worked and he has not shown the ability to alter those systems. Expecting a dramatic shift in his approach now, after 5 years, is not reasonable. He is who he is. He hasn't won games despite being a nice guy who the kids all love. [/QUOTE]
