I continue to be impressed with how Brad solves problems. Every off-season it feels like there are a lot of question marks that would doom a lesser coach and more often than not, we come out looking better on the other end.
In 2021, we lose not one, but two assistants and have Kofi in the portal. Brad brings in TA and Chester and gets Kofi to come back. In 2022, we need to fill a Kofi-sized production hole and find a point guard. Brad brings in TSJ and MM and out of nowhere gets Skyy Clark. Yeah, admittedly, the season didn't quite work out, but it was a heck of a swing and, importantly, got us TSJ. In 2023, Brad got both TSJ, who nobody thought would play another game in college, and Hawk to come back and loaded up the squad with a ton of experience utilizing the extra covid year. This off-season, he rebuilds the squad with a ton of young and intriguing talent, replaces an assistant with one of the best in the game, and manages to fill two massive holes in the roster with European guys not on most teams' radar.
I was a huge worrier in the 2021 off-season. I didn't know if we'd be able to handle the adversity. This off-season, I knew Brad and the staff would figure it out. They always seem to.
