MY gets a guy like Lawal that didn't contribute that much at VCU and now he

is an absolute force. Lynn Kidd got much better with Young's coaching. We just keep seeing it all the time. It makes you wonder what MY could have done in his tenure if he had some better pieces to work with. It sure would be nice to see him have more resources and it sure would be nice to see the rest of the athletic department use its resources with the excellence that Mike Young does. I've always said that if you gave Mike Young a solid guard and a bench guy from a team like FSU or some other team that has rangy athletes, he'd probably get in the tourney. Its so refreshing to see effective coaching and know-how on the sidelines rather than learning by doing and frantic fire drill routines. Mike Young is about as good a basketball coach as there is and really knows what he is doing.

Well, part of that is the large number of 3s missed.

It all depends on how the team handles physical play on the guards.

Hammond seems to have a lot of upside. Quicker than Rech.**
