A new attitude, a new culture, and a new commitment to defense
For those out there who poo-poo coaching changes and believe it’s all about the players you recruit, Keatts has, in one regular season game, proven you wrong. With nearly the exact same team as last year, you are watching a complete shift in culture, attitude, and discipline. A team that could be described as lazy, lacking heart and poor on defense is suddenly hungry, passionate, and obsessed with stopping their man.
Obviously, no one knows what the final win-loss count will be, but when you take pride in getting stops and sharing the basketball you become very tough to beat.
