From Mark Story. Can't disagree.
Otherwise, there are five qualities Kentucky should be seeking in its next men’s hoops head man:
1.) UK needs a coach who understands “modern basketball,” who is comfortable with an analytics-driven approach that features an open lane, a heavy reliance on the 3-point-line and a fast pace.
2.) Defensively, if Kentucky could find a coach who knows how to contain the high pick-and-roll, it would be such a refreshing change. 👍
3.) A coach with a viable recruiting plan to alter Kentucky’s image as a one-and-done factory and create older teams with greater roster continuity would be a godsend.
4.) Off the court, UK needs a coach with a personality that will embrace the “big top circus” that is the Kentucky basketball experience. It also needs a head man secure enough in what he believes not to wobble when things get rough in what is one of the most-scrutinized coaching jobs in American sports.
5.) It goes without saying that Kentucky should seek a men’s hoops leader who can return the Wildcats program to winning like UK is accustomed to winning — and do so in what is a far more competitive SEC than what the Cats have traditionally faced.
