re: Tide Hoops | 25-12 (13-5)

Lack of length was why it was obvious this year wasn't going to be a top 3 defense. But it's kinda how the domino's fell last year.

I was honestly surprised when we grabbed both Wrightsell and Estrada from the portal, since they were both about 6'3". Obviously but great players, but that meant our top 4 guards were all short. And after the length we'd previously had at guard and wings, it wasn't what I was expecting from the portal.

I think Oats was frustrated with how our 3 point shooting finished last season, and prioritized shooting over length. But I think he's going to continue to learn and improve as a coach, and find that ideal balance.
