in that, our offense looks fluid, with multiple options, for the first time I've seen while he's been at UCLA.
And, he's devised a way to almost always cover our total lack of interior defense most nights. Minnesota killed us inside, but really, most teams should. And, with his weird match-up manzone defense, he's covering that hole really well.
His demeanor is horrible, but with the help of horrible FT shooting by our opponents, he got us from a play-in game to a FF, losing on a miracle shot. He got is within a crazy 3 of going to OT with Gonzaga/Timme when Bona was out, Nwuba reportedly couldn't lift one of his arms, and Etienne was useless and didn't play.
