[QUOTE="dbeverly26, post: 1374380, member: 515868"] There are some mismatches, to be sure. From a coaching perspective, I could see why Underwood might want to implement his system now even if there's a mismatch in talent. There will be guys who stick around, and they will ultimately benefit from having time in the system. Given the circumstances, you might be able to make the argument that slowing things down and shortening the game would be beneficial once you've accepted that your team is less talented than many of your opponents. But at the same time, there's no system that can compensate for a lack of shooters, big men, and athleticism. It just boils down to where you want the deck chairs on the Titanic at that point. I've always believed that guys should be given the opportunity to stick around for four years if they want to, but there are a handful of guys on this roster where the mutual benefit of a transfer is pretty clear. It's just a matter of who will actually make that decision at this point. [/QUOTE]
