it's possible he's a better closer with the big whistle than as a DC.

So after being Franks right hand man for 25 years, Frank can override him to not seal the deal on a major recruit?

If you mean culture of recruiting its even worse, since Frank choose his son as recruiting over what Bud want, to change the culture

Well we won, despite our best efforts. 17 turnovers and around 50% from the free throw line, two things that cannot continue if this team wants to win. Offense seemed to run to stall and there were too many quick possessions with one player trying to drive through an entire team. This young team needs to figure out how to play together soon or things will get ugly as the competition gets better.

My initial thoughts while watching the game is that our defense is still really bad, and without some serious improvement we're gonna have a bad time come ACC games.

The two other issues that stuck out with me is how some players would drive the ball when it was 3-4 on 1. I know we have some talented athletes, but I was very frustrated with some of the decision making.

Finally the turnovers need cleaning up. Most of the happened in transition, and I don't know if it's players not paying attention or they're getting the jitters, but I think we had 10 or more and they helped keep Jacksonville state in the game until late.

I haven't heard Buzz talking as much about paint touches. Is he still preaching those this season? 17 turnovers doesn't help you stay in games either.

I kind of get the feeling that Buzz is still focused on building his culture and is going to let these guys experience some bumps along the way in hopes that they bring more wins in the next few years when these guys are more experienced. It might be another long season, but I'm confident that Buzz is going to build us back up and have us in the top third of the conference which means we're dancing every year.
