The biggest talking point here is that he didn’t establish the type of play that he put on the floor at VCU, and also has done elsewhere since his departure at Texas. Havoc was not really seen here. Nobody really knows why. It’s as if the coach we hired just changed the way he coached while he was here. He always stated his recruits here were better and thus changed the way he game planned and ran the team. I’ll never really understand it.

I know he had Greg Brown III his last year at Texas and had him on the bench down the stretch in their tourney loss. Strange to me

Happens all the time to mid major coaches. They figure out a style that maximizes limited talent and then shift away from it at big schools with access to elite players. A major reason Nate Oats has been so successful is staying pure to his system.
