Reply to "If height and weight don't matter, then why?"

Agree with Dan and RJM both valid posts. It’s funny because I talked to the HC at my Alma Mater (smaller D1) he said it’s simple, “with the draft and how kids enter the program now it’s tough for us to rely on “projecting” when every year it’s our job on the line. So for us we need more of a finished product.”

When he said it I let it sit a bit and realized in some ways he’s right. So they (coaches) are just a product of the environment. They react to what will work and need more immediate results...D1’s tend to want to project far less now than 20 years ago. It’s just the truth.

It's also MUCH easier for them to project now. Twenty years ago, there weren't many chances to see players going up against other D1 talent players on a regular basis. Today, with PG and other high level events, there's just a LOT more info out there than was available in the 90's.
