One doesn't achieve the things he achieved on the basketball court and in life without fighting through obstacles that likely would've derailed lesser folks.

We just need to keep cheering this team and coaching staff on as they work through this season's adversity...better days are yet to come, my fellow Tiger fans.

Thing is, ask a handful of different folks who have actually started their own business or had real P&L responsibility in a larger company if they don't experience temporary setbacks while building up their organization. Most of these kinds of people will tell you that nothing worthwhile is easy and that many challenges are encountered along the journey.

I couldn't agree more.

To me, the x factor with Penny has always been: can he coach? I am blown away by how well he can coach. He runs great plays out of TOs, in bounds, etc. He has a group of freshman with a few sophs sprinkled in and they play phenomenal team D. His team has great chemistry.

Ironically, we've had issues with the assumed parts. Recruiting talent. Who knew Wiseman wouldn't come through? Or that LQ, DJ would get hurt? Or that Rayjon wouldn't come?

I totally agree - particularly with the bolded. Penny has made errors, but nothing glaring or that he's not been obviously willing to change - I also expect ALo to get fewer minutes the more Boogie continues to improve. He's not a "my way or the highway" kind of guy.

The sky isn't falling; it's just not all rainbows & unicorns (pardon the pun) that we expected this season.
