Someone shared a roughly 2-minute interview clip with Coach Allen earlier and this was a big part of his approach to coaching. Spoke of getting the most out of his kids' leadership characteristics in order to get the best production out of a unit.
This hire is exactly what we are looking for on that end - someone guided, and proven, by that principle in addition to mastery of the X's and O's. We have some great potential on that side of the ball for player leadership - you have to have it to be anywhere close to great, and it's been on the wane. If that clicks - watch out. We could discover quick that we're a lot more talented there than you think.
