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.

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

Then there are these comments from Caleb Love's dad in the IndyStar:

"He wants to win," Dennis Love, Caleb's father, told IndyStar. "So, he wants to be on a team that plays in a manner that is open, right — not having a clogged lane. Being able to take advantage of his playmaking skills. A situation that allows him to show his skillset. He also wants to be in a situation, where he can be taught, man, improve his efficiency.

"He wants to be coached. He really wants to be coached and really have someone help him get better. And then he obviously wants to be in a situation that allows him to achieve his ultimate dream, his goal — to get to the league."

Sounds like Coach Woodson to me

Not even reading into what that means for IU, those quotes are freakin' BRUTAL on Hubert Davis. My word.

A Johnson/Love backcourt would be explosive, good or bad. 

Oh the jokes my immature mind is mining through right now....

And that might be accurate. Realisticallty, what are they gonna say? "My kids a selfish nightmare and ruined the season."

Ultimately the coach IS responsible, but that doesn't give the players a pass. UNC had a lot of experience and was coming off a NC game run. Plenty of blame to go around.

Pretty accurate, some misses here and there every once in awhile, but I trust him

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.

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.

I’d take both in a heartbeat.

what a backcourt that would be, wouldn't be able to say we didn't have guards if we got knocked out of the tourney.
