It seems I and many others jumped the gun on this team and especially this coach. I will say I remained optimistic that Dru would eventually get it but certainly believed he was too inexperienced to begin his HC career at Duquesne and in the A-10.  The wins against Rhody and St Joes show he at least belongs and has some chops. Whether he will be an upper echelon coach remains to be seen but I am optimistic. I did not expect to be 2-1 in the A-10 after that start and feared we might not win a game - so happy with this turn around. The team has really taken form and players have found their roles.  I’m a little concerned about how Jake rotates in but that’s a good problem to have.  Kareem has done a fine job taking care of the ball and providing stability when the opponent presses and blitzes the guard. His inability to score off the drive or get to the line is worrisome if he’s going to continue to play these minutes though.  think that is what Jake will provide when he comes back and we’ll see Kareem’s minutes reduced. And that’s a good thing. But in a close game late I want Kareem out there to take care of the ball.  Dixon took a giant step forward against some formidable competition. I hope this leads to increased confidence. He could be first team A-10 if he keeps this up. Corbett does a lot of things right most notably rebounding. He’s probably the most important player on the team as his size, energy, and scoring check a lot of boxes.  He seems to always be complaining, pouting, or getting angry at the other guys though. Not sure if that causes chemistry issues or not but they need him going forward so hopefully it works itself out. Matus continues to impress, his horrible shooting night notwithstanding.  Always in the right place, always making the right play, and when his shot is falling he needs to be out there all the time. Dinkins is the X factor. He’s had as many bad games as good. When he’s good, this team is hard to beat. He just needs to bring it every night. I love Cam’s steady presence in the backcourt and he’s turning into one of the most reliable 3 point shooters on this team. Things really started to turn around when he started getting minutes. Necas has slowly improved and has a ton of potential. These injuries have been irritating as his defense and size is sorely missed.  I like that Max has been able to provide 5-8 quality minutes a game lately. We saw what happened when he played more. Maybe this is the right formula.  Chabi has been nice and steady and Wilborn seems to be an untapped resource. I’ll trust Dru knows what he’s doing there. I know he collects fouls at an alarming rate but man he looks like he could take over a game if he was given the minutes.
