No one seems to be talking about it, but after watching all 12, Pac-12 team benches, coaches, and players, it is obvious that the loss of the Arizona Basketball assistant coaches severely impacted the overall success of the team.
I’m not going to say we know how the newer assistant coaches for Arizona Basketball did in relation to Sean Miller’s or the teams’ expectations, but it is obvious to us now, that the intensity and overall impact, were substantially less than almost all the other Pac-12 teams this year.
Think back, ever since Emmanuel ‘Book’ Richardson was let go, the team didn’t perform as well, and the players still defend Book to this day.
