In response to JadwinGeorge
I agree that player development has been below par. Maybe the blame falls on the assistant coaches and on what appears to be a lack of a big man coach?
Last year’s recruits appeared to be much better coming in than they were able to show in games. Only Stefanini showed some progress, and like the rest of the team, he was inconsistent.
The most frustrating aspect of the season is that for large parts of most games, Columbia showed it was as good or better than the teams it was playing. Yet, it couldn’t sustain the effort for 40 minutes and lost way more often than not. My recollection is that in the early years of his tenure, Smith’s teams suffered from the same issue. As players gained experience, their ability to finish games improved. Let’s hope Engels’ teams follow a similar pattern.
