He doesn’t, but you see, in a way, he’s still controlling the conversations. By talking about how Kellie “will be fairly judged”, even though true, that’s the narrative he wants, and it began before she was even hired, just as recruiting complaints began ridiculously early, and he has cronies who act the same, or else he uses other names, or maybe he just plays on some people’s fears.
How many times has the entire how was Kellie hired been rehashed? I can’t tell you, because it is so many. This is one of his favorites, because then everyone comes out of the woodwork, saying, well I wanted this one or that one, or I think so and so should have been considered.
This year’s incoming recruiting class is very very good, and it happened through Kellie’s hard work even through so many recruiting restrictions which worked more against a newer Coach, because Coaches who had recruited before the COVID restrictions, already had in some cases, years to meet the players and recruit on their home court and in person.
While so many are either criticizing or second guessing Coach Kellie, she’s just going about her business in a beautiful way, and sometimes surprises people with her accomplishments, such as her two new highly qualified assistants.
As you can tell, I’m definitely in Kellie’s corner, she’s just a winner. Go Kellie!!!
