I will start off by saying I was very happy when Capel was hired. That didn’t last long. There were so many things about him as a coach that I began to dislike. Yes I wanted him fired last year.
But something clicked. It isn’t that we are running different offensive sets which we are, or we have a true point guard, or we can shoot, or many other things.
The biggest difference in Capel is he has created a team with great chemistry. That was what got him fired at Oklahoma and plagued him basically every year at Pitt. But something he is doing this season is different and the players are for the first time enjoying watching each other succeed. That’s quite a coaching accomplishment.
In closing my favorite quote from the Howland and Dixon era was “We All We Got”. I think this team is developing that mindset. Right now I am happy with Capel as our coach. Now he just needs to maintain this chemistry.
