The identity of this program is defense and effort. Obviously we are trying to get more talented without losing that identity.
A few games ago, I saw Zemgulis play for the first time in a while and he was out of sorts defensively. At one point, Banks had to shove him in the direction of an opposing player to help him figure out who to guard, and this wasn't the first possession for Zemgulis. So, I think this is really the deciding factor for who plays for Chambers. You have to show the requisite effort and be able to understand and execute your role on Defense.
I was just watching that coaching panel show on BTN and the ex Indiana coach (Davis?) talked about the difference between coach for the outcome and coaching for the process. He said that in his current SWC job, he can comfortably coach the process while when he was at Indiana (or if at another major job) he would have to coach for the outcome or fear being fired for a poor OOC record (for example). I really think this is the difference between the people who have given up on Chambers and those of us who still believe. We believers see the process and not the outcome.
