I loved the hiring of Tommy Amaker as Michigan’s basketball coach six years ago. I thought he was the right man to get the Wolverines on track.
Amaker has done a nice job of cleaning up a troubled program, but hasn’t made the strides on the court that I expected. He has yet to lead Michigan to an NCAA Tournament berth the Wolverines remain frustratingly mediocre. They can’t seem to even stay competitive against quality teams and can’t win on the road.
The current crop of seniors – Dion Harris, Lester Abram, Courtney Sims and Brent Petway – has been a big disappointment. It’s hard to put a finger on exactly what is wrong, but something is definitely missing.
Amaker was one of the few coaches in the country that would touch the program after the scandal(thanks T.O.-Web and co.). In spite of Amaker’s pedegree and flashy dress he is a mediocre coach at best.
As far as this editon of the team the things lacking are …
Talent and something that appears to inflict the U-M athletic department its called Heart.
