UK is an easy team to have a game plan against because they have almost no game if the outside shot ain't dropping. If the other players make the outside shot and keep the floor spread properly then Harr. can play better. Miller can drive and do that little jump shot or Jones can drive and dunk on folks. Harr. doesn't have the skills to be the man in the middle....poor dude. He tries but it's just not there day in and day out.
I would say UK will be fine. The hardcore fans are too dang smart for their own good. If the season doesn't go well and folks start talking about getting Cal out of here I'll be very disappointed. Uk can quickly become the job that NOBODY will want if they chase Cal off.
The dude was brought here to fix a program that was broke! (He didn't break it. Thank the AD for that!) He is doing that but it takes time. Sure kids will use him and UK as a vehicle to get to the NBA but there will be those guys who will stay for their own reasons. So UK fans should enjoy the turn around, be patient, support Cal and not be so quick to stick a fork in the program....JMO.
