RE: CAK Interview
Good interview. The takeaway for me was last season was our floor, not the ceiling. I like listening to AK.

RE: CAK Interview
It’s really nice to hear a coach talk about adjusting to his players instead of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.

That and last year's style of play was to suit our personnel, but AK prefers to play faster.

Completely agree. We played the way we did last year bc of our personnel and depth, and bc AK is a good coach. I very much doubt we’ll see us playing at such a slow pace again. (But again, if we are winning and meeting our goals, I don’t care how we play)

Yes that definitely stood out to me as well.

I think we tried early in the season but we just didn't have the scoring options and/or depth to commit to a faster pace.

RE: CAK Interview
I enjoyed listening to AK in the post game interviews. He & Murry would talk some Xs & Os, Andy would tell some old Gene Bartow stories (and do a spot-on impersonation), and AK would talk candidly about the team's assets & deficits, He has been upfront all season about wanting to play faster but had to change the plan to adjust to a team that lacked some skills.
