Its X’s and O’s and we ain’t Gott it.
Can anyone break down how the division of responsibility is handled between Gott and the assistants, and what the strengths are of all of the assistants?
IMO Gott seems like a coach who is good at a lot of important stuff: recruiting, media, player relationships/management, motivation. When it comes to Xs and Os, his strength is supposedly offense, though I think that supposed strength might be overrated.
But we have a lot of conversation in this forum about consistent weaknesses of his teams, namely defense (of all kinds, i.e., man-to-man, zone, press) and rebounding. Wouldn’t a coach like Gott benefit from having assistants who are specifically strong in these areas? Does he have that on staff? If not, why not?
I like Gott a lot. But I wonder if he and our team would benefit from a shakeup within his staff.
