The way this year’s team plays is the way each of Juwan Howard’s teams have played. Nothing new here. His best seasons were with Beilein’s recruits. I have to conclude that it’s either the coaches, or the players recruited by these coaches. Either way, a change is called for. I, personally, would start with the A.D.
As much as I love Juwan Howard, this mess is not on the players, it’s squarely on his shoulders. If there’s no cohesion with this team, he should have addressed it immediately. This s—- works in his mind, perhaps in practice, but not where it counts. It’s embarrassing and unacceptable.
I also used to love how John Beilein's teams got stronger as the season wound down. I remember asking him in Januarys about players he saw coming up to playing time soon. One year it was Duncan and Rahk. Man, he hit those predictions square on. Miss that now.
I was disappointed when Warde said he wasn’t inclined to make a change and that he would assess the program after the season ends. That’s too passive. Why didn’t he take the same approach as he did with Harbaugh? Acknowledge there is a serious problem and assure the fans he plans to address it at the appropriate time. Warde is only making things more aggravating.
