In light of the fact that Robinson did so well with the Princeton System at Brown and now at Oregon State, why didn't Jesse continue with it?

My view, Jesse isn't Robinson. While he may have adopted a few aspects of Robinson's approach, Agel spent 17 years at Vermont where they had great success, including league titles and NCAA Tourney wins in a place which did not have a great BB tradition. He did not grow up in the "Princeton System" and the coaches who have success with it are really just a few true successful disciples. JT111 and CR play different versions than you saw from Carill at P'ton. I don't think Donahue is a clone of Dunphy. If the Princeton System was superior, why wouldn't everyone play it? Talent and coaching are more important than systems.
