“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”

Good stuff. Thanks for posting it.
I liked the part about every team (even last year's NFL champs) going through these periods. As long as we pull out of it ourselves asap, of course.
One thing I found "interesting" was when he was praising Shaka Smart on his prowess for throwing lots of different looks at opponents on defense, and doing so even in alternating possessions. I would contrast that with Coach's propensity to stick with his base D (albeit being very willing to alternate personnel)...but...I'll just be nice and keep it positive. In the spirit of looking forward and hoping we're about to turn a new leaf.
