Where Mick Fails
Mick does a lot of things right but something that has ALWAYS bothered me about him is the lack of getting into one of his players faces.
Mainly Lance and Yancy. It seems (I dont know obviously) that he is afraid to lay into lance. He baby's these two. Huggs, Frank Martin, and Andy wouldn't do that I know that. Im still on board. But has anyone else noticed this? |

BS on UC can't afford it. If the boosters want him out they will get the money. Let's wait until after the year to judge Mick and if we want him back. UC has A LOT of chances to prove themselves. That is the good news. |

The only good thing I can see coming from LS struggling is that perhaps he might stay another year to improve. Yes, the NBA drafts potential, but he would definitely benefit monetarily by staying another year and moving up the draft board.
Aside from that, I guess the UC players having another year of experience SHOULD help the team improve next year. |

Lance's perimeter game is well below average.
His game is not ready for the NBA, but that doesn't mean he'll be in Clifton next year. Either way, the loss of DV won't have much of an impact on this team, IMO. If Lance returns, we'll be better next year. |

I agree. Assistant coaches are pretty important in DI bball and the ones we have are awful. Way to get us prepared fellas.

I agree with the above statements. Mick for whatever reasons seems to have a passive aggressive way about him. He rules with an iron fist (pulls people after one mistake) but yet never yells or gets in their face.
I hate that we always resort back to what Huggs did bc he isn't here anymore and isn't coming back but when he pulled someone he let them know why. If it wasn't right when they walked by him, he made sure he found them on the bench after and let them know what he was feeling lol. Not sure what holds Mick back but you wonder if his players respect him. It seems like they dont care at all when they get pulled and almost smirk at it. I just wish his teams had more fight and urgency. The complancey and lack of desire for this team can drive you crazy. Not sure where the blame falls. I subscribe to the theory that teams act and play how they are led. |

Its tough to get into faces when your at ankles and knee caps. They don't keep their brains at that level. If he could only get to butt level. "Timber"

There is a little something to the "Napolean Syndrome" but Im not exactly sure that is it. I think he's trying to sell that he's a players coach to recruits. He wants to be seen as a mentor rather than a dictator.
