but that could be a Cronin decision. Maybe we were paying too much? Kyle3 was all-conference, and Mick couldn't get anything out of him. I tend to think that's a lot because Mick has his centers dashing between the 3 point line and the post. Back and forth, on offense and defense. Imo, that's kind of a gimmicky system. I'm kind of a let player do what they do guy. And, if you're a center that can jump out of the building (Kyle3) or can change the game with your height without jumping (Mara), I think that guy should spend the vast majority of his time on the block on O, and defending the post on D.
Has Mick had a center that excelled while having to do that? I wouldn't say Bona benefitted from it. I wouldn't say the Cody Riley benefitted from it. And, I really don't think Mara or Kyle3 benefitted from it.
