They can help out. But responsibility has to fall on the coaches.  

It does, regardless is delegated elsewhere.

It had to be true. The results are proof. Fundamentals were a failure. Shooting was a failure. Foul shooting was a failure.
No sustained improvement for 4 ugly years.

Primarily in charge doesn’t seem like them taking responsibility.  Not after 3 years of it not working. You don’t set by and watch them fail for 3 years if you are taking responsibility

Combo forward of interest entered the portal today:  Corey Walker Jr. of Tennessee.  6'8" freshman who was ranked #81 in the 2020 recruiting class on the 247 composite and 12th best power forward.  Didn't play this past year for Tennessee as he started in covid protocol and then had a foot injury.

Wonder when all this transfer action peaks and if transfers in actually lead to some players tranfserring out?

I was agreeing with you.  If a coach chooses to delegate something out and it fails, its the coaches fault, not who he delegated it to.

Exactly. As a manager, I delegated a lot of things. I always monitored the results and made corrections as needed. Delegating responsibility is how you discover and grow leaders. Delegating is not the problem, following up is. I like CMW's hands on approach and I think it can work because he is surrounding himself with capable people. He said in his introductory press conference that he is willing to listen to and learn from other coaches. The 'brain trust' will search the portal and find the best additions available.

Well before Miller was fired, I had heard something along the lines of Miller himself rarely if ever directly coached players, and that it was all delegated to assistants. And if Miller had specific instructions for players, it was relayed through an assistant who would then talk to a player. Which I think is even worse than grad assistants being tasked with skills development, but fits with this sort of delegating down mentality

Words to this effect are found in one of the returning players first interviews after withdrawing from the portal.

Yep. Just today I delegated some things that should have been done by 1.  They didn’t get done.  They were single time oddball things but on Wednesday my first day back at work I have to follow up with the lead i delegated then to

1) Why didn’t this get done 

2) Why didn’t she notify the relevant stakeholders 

3) If the answer of either of those is IDK. Why didn’t you know?
 

I’m 99% sure I know the answer to these questions. But need to know if she knows before handling the situation.

There different ways to lead. I was involved with my people on a daily basis. I never talked about 'I' and 'you' in meetings. It was always about 'we'. That worked best for me. I asked them to commit to me and I committed to them. We were successful that way. I see a whole lot of that in CMW.

Great example of what I meant. When something went wrong in my department I always said it was either a people problem or a process problem. Either way, I analyzed and fixed.

This to me is just insane. The director of operations for my company a guy 4 levels above me in the Org.  He saw me do something and he pulled me aside and we talked for 40 minutes about the decision the rationale and on basic leadership philosophy.  
 

Feedback loses meaning each level it has to travel

I too delegated some tasks. I told the wife I was tired of mowing the grass and washing the cars and that I had decided those were now her  jobs and I would be happy to give her constructive feedback once she finished.

Seems I will be hitting up Mike Roberts to see if he has a second couch to crash for an undetermined time.

Yep.  She’s actually a great leader.  But she’s working closely on a project with a terrible leader. That persons an anchor her trying to help her realize that on her own. But Wednesday might have to be the blunt convo
