Love can be coached hard. His HS coach for 3 years was Justin Tatum, Jayson’s father, who is a very, very tough coach.

The article in the Athletic that was a post-mortum on the UNC season had a lot of comments from parents that seemed to lay a lot of blame on Hubert Davis for their chemistry issues.  
 

My instincts say Love is a poor fit with XJ. But he’s intriguing and has tons of talent. His father’s comments mostly seem reasonable. At the very least, he knows to say the right things. That makes me wonder if Woody might be the right type of coach to get through to Love . 
 

This is a fairly big inflection point for next season, imo. Big decision for Woody.

Realisticallty, what are they gonna say? "My kids a selfish nightmare and ruined the season."

They never blame their kid…but are you kidding me? In the age of social media we’ve heard parents say all kinds of crazy stuff. Just at IU it’s ranged from troy Williamson’s mom to Duncombs granny. Lol…. 
 

My larger point being that Love Sr does a pretty good job of not directly blaming the old coach but also rebutting a lot of the perceived negative things attributed to his son. It’s not that I’m taking him at his word and moreso that the dad seems to get the bigger picture. Often times if Dad (or Mom) “gets it” then the chances increase that the son will too. There are certainly no guarantees tho.

Is that Road to Zion guy on HSN usually right on things? 

No.

Doesn’t discount his guesses, but no reason I’ve ever seen to think that he knows something.

Of course, I’ve never pm’d him to learn what his basis of knowledge is.
