I don't know if he refuses to recruit shooters or because of his playing style they don't want anything to do with him. Frank's style of coaching was ok when I grew up but parents , and kids, don't want to play for someone that screams and cusses at them all game.

meh I disagree.
Kids don't wanna play for him because he stinks. And his style of play isn't "sexy"
Coach K, Bob Huggins, Gregg Marshall, Tom Izzo, Mark Turgeron, Jim Boheim, Brad Underwood all yell. No one cares though because they win.
Frank has one Tourney in his 7 years here and a losing record in the SEC.
Other than the 2 years he's finsihed tied for the 3rd in the SEC, he hasn't finsihed above 11th (and this year is not looking good)
Frank's style of coaching "preach defense first" isn't what works because A) we can't shoot to save our lives B) we can't develop anyone.
How many guys have we had stay all 4 years under him? (i'll count PJ as one because he woulda stayed had he not bolted for the NBA)
I think his system COULD work... if kids stayed. but they don't. Freshman that can't shoot or score need to develop. Freshman like the guys Duke have are already elite developed offensive talents (will be starters in the NBA before they are 20). We don't have any guys even close to them, even Seniors. frick even our best senior Sin thornwell wasn't close at 21.
He needs to change his philosophy. Working harder than the other team isn't going to win when you stink.
We played and worked very hard vs UVA, but we were not better than them, that's why we lost.

He made a comment a few years back that recruiting guys who understood his defensive philosophy was more important than recruiting guys who were flashy and could shoot/score. The comment was in reference to Mike Carerra, the quintessential CFM player.
Our offense is stale. Teams know they can just pack it in, because our guys suck at ball movement, and they suck at shooting. It is tough to watch for me. Without a Thornwell/Dozier type who can get to the rim, we don't stand a chance. I think Bryant and Lawson both have a ton of potential, but beyond that, nobody impresses me in the least. Not even Silva.
