Oh he had talent, he just had no concept of how to build a team. He recruited 3-point shooters and totally disregarded recruiting defense. On top of that his players mostly showed no continuous improvement (partly due to the system) and left the program not much better than when they entered. He was a deer in the headlights when it came to in-game adjustments. All in all he was a terrible college coach.
edit: JOB's basketball philosophy was akin to those in the NFL that went all-in with the run-and-shoot offense. Once a defense was set you were doomed.
