Elston taking new position outside basketball

Recommended Posts

In my working stiff days, I had some business relationships with PEDCOR, who owns United Fidelity Bank.  PEDCOR was, and I presume still is, an exceptionally well run organization and I would view Derek's move as nothing but positive for he and his family.

Every director of player development has different responsibilities. In this case, Derek was more in the support staff side than the actual X's and O's development of a player. 
Derek will have more time to himself and his family now that he's in the "normal" world. Working in college basketball, especially at the D1 level is very time consuming and will eventually take a toll on the mind and body. I'm happy for him!

Well we need someone who can actually develop players. As in shooting, dribbling, passing.. the simple skills. Because this program is in dire need of all of that.

I think Archie has done a fine job given the players he was given coming in. In my opinion, I noticed a dramatic change in our fundamentals such as passing and moving without the basketball during Archie's first year. Give him time, we'll get there.

Part 1 (15 min.) of a sitdown with Kent Sterling.    Some good insight on Elston working with Crean and working with Archie.  A great quote in the early minutes:  "...even the coaches didn't know the schedule."   Also comments on Vic as a great  teammate.
