Again, thereтАЩs way too much revisionist history surrounding Jalen CelestineтАжheтАЩs a solid basketball player, but a career 5.6 ppg scorer that can not create his own shot is not the missing piece for a Mark Fox offenseтАж
A better coach would do much more with himтАжhe is not saving this team, especially coming back from a torn ACL, though, and his absence is nothing more than a Knowlton/Fox excuse.
If you repeat something enough, people will believe it...one player, who is probably average to above average, is going to change the trajectory of a 1-13 team? Forget it. Let's stop the spin that Celestine (even if he is good) is the solution. The solution is to end the madness now and let Mr. Fox go. The kids deserve better.
Bob does have one good point about transfers: Bradley + Kelly + Justice Sueing (who also left for Ohio State and people seem to forget about) and this would be a good team, they'd probably even have gotten some better players along the way. But there's a reason they all left...think about it.
Fox is such an inept offensive mind, I honestly question if he couldтАЩve had much success with even those players.
ThereтАЩs zero imaginationтАжitтАЩs a poor scheme that lacks spacingтАжitтАЩs basically a ball dominant guard dribbling around. ThatтАЩs why the return of Clayton and Celestine doesnтАЩt move the needle a bit, and why Fox and KnowltonтАЩs reliance on them is just laughableтАжthe scheme is an inefficient mess, and his substitution patterns are the basketball equivalent of icing your kicker. The only thing that could save his offense is efficient, NBA talents making quality, individual plays.
The team played itтАЩs best ball in 4 years under Mark Fox when they ran the O through a healthy Andre Kelly, so stands to reason they would have been better had he stayedтАж
Incidentally, Andre is an efficient scorer, constantly pumping in 17 on 6-9 shootingтАжheтАЩs the type of player that has been few and far between in FoxтАЩs career as a coach.
He's definitely not our best player, and I resent you saying that we agree with you.
