[QUOTE="Saturdaze, post: 2013798, member: 748683"] I agree with this. I also think pedigree has something to do with it. BU doesn‘t have the pedigree of an X and O guy, or someone who has been mentored by a variety big winners. Frank Martin was really the only coach that he worked under who had any postseason success, and Frank Martin has only made the postseason in 5 out of his 16 seasons as an HC. As an assistant or HC BU has only been in the sweet 16 once his whole career with the Michael Beasely elite 8 team. BU has shown he is great at building a program, improving players, and has won everywhere he’s been a HC. It just seems like he doesn’t know how to take that next step, so he continues to ask more from his best players which sometimes pushes them beyond their abilities or comfort zone. When they deliver it looks great, and when they don’t it looks terrible. He needs to figure out a way how to win the tough games without demanding player heroics to compensate for coaching. [/QUOTE]
