Please get someone who can coach defense. We are consistently near the bottom of Division 1 teams in numerous defensive metrics. Against any team with good ball movement, we will allow up to 25 ( mostly open) 3’s. They really need to do a cold blooded evaluation of their assistant coaches. Patrick shouldnt have to do everything. Since our program is anything but transparent, we have no idea what they bring to the table. But from the outside looking in, it doesnt seem like much. Waheed went Gonzaga, and the only recent recruit we got from the Catholic league( Gonzaga- his school) decommitted. Louie Orr is obviously a confidant of Patrick, but in year 5, does Patrick still need that? The few things we hear about the asst. coaches revolve mainly around the positive contributions of Coach Crouch- who isnt even an official assistant. Its great that Patrick is loyal- and this was a COVID year, but if we dont get better defensively and have better game management, next year will be largely the same, despite having better players
