A lot of guys come with
um residue from their last place, right?
Whether it's, you know, hey, we were a denial team and now you're trying to get them to break that habit in order to learn the habits of RMU.
Sometimes when you got guys as true freshmen, they didn't really have habits in college.
And so they were able to learn your system.
You were able to over time build in more
You didn't have to start completely from scratch each and every year.
Now you gotta start from scratch each and every year with terminology, uh, with spacing, with style, with system.
Now you go through some of that stuff obviously in the recruiting process, but that doesn't mean they have a grasp of how to execute it.
And I do think you have to emphasize a little bit of
Um
uh basketball IQ and and and instinct in your recruitment.
Like there's a couple of guys that we've recruited over the last couple of years who just were talented enough but just not able to grasp the system quick enough in order to really impact the team.
And then the other thing I think that's hard now is, you know, you don't have the same scar tissue you used to have.
Like when I
lose my mind in a practice 'cause we miss a free throw box out because in twenty eighteen we missed a free throw box out at F the U in the conference tournament semifinals.
Like that doesn't resonate with these guys.
Or when we go to play Youngstown State and we say, man, this is gonna be a really intense game because we played 'em last year in the Horizon League Championship game, that doesn't necessarily resonate with these guys.
So you gotta find some different ways to try to get your point across and get them to understand the important things that really determine winning and losing.
Yeah, he's been awesome.
