When the Kansas coaching staff convened for a meeting on Tuesday morning, David Beaty opened the floor and asked for ideas. The goal: Fix a punchless offense. Any and all suggestions were on the table, from personnel changes, to tweaking the system, to practice changes that could lead to better execution.
Beaty, in his first season, always knew that this Kansas rebuilding project was going to be an uphill battle. He understood the challenges that come with a shorthanded roster. He knew that installing a new offensive scheme would take time and care. But if you ask Beaty about his biggest disappointment thus far, he is likely to bring up an offensive unit that is averaging just 16.
