I always thought the CU boards were always far too tough on Engles given what he was given when he came here. Smith left for a very slight upgrade in level and left behind a team that would have to be totally rebuilt. And he left late. Engles inherited a team that lost its 3 top scorers (Lo, Mullins and Rosenberg) worth 44 ppg, 10 rebounds and 8 assists and his next 2 top players (Petrasek and Coby) were about to be seniors. So without a recruiting year, the cupboard was going to be barren a year later. In those circumstances it is reasonable to expect that this would be the first year to show improvement. To blame Engles for the W/L to date is to let off the hook the recruiting of the guy who left to take a lateral job. |
