With what coaches? Patton is gone. Assistants might still be around but are they going to put time into our guys instead of out there looking for a job? Our kids are losing opportunity to work out in an organized manner.

We have an interim head coach. If it's legal for them to practice, I would hope they would be practicing! Like I think Spann said, coaches come and go, but . . . I don't remember what he said, but the point was, they were going to keep working to get better regardless of who the coach was. I would hope our basketball players and interim head coach would feel the same way!
BTW- Did Patton have his team practice, like Izzo, for two hours per week through the Spring semester?
I would assume that the team had spring practices in the past. Every D-I does. But, our interim head coach, even if a good guy, would be wasting his personal time developing the new staff's players. It is a nice thought, but would you be busting your tail in that position?
He is probably just there a little bit each day for paperwork and to be a contact person. The other assistants may be in even less. They are probably sending out resumes and making phone calls trying to get hired somewhere.
