Fans/media/everyone need to realize that Tad struggles when he doesn't have a dominant slasher/scorer to just let the offense run through. He's had Burks, Dinwiddie, and even Carlon Brown to just give the ball to and say "go get a bucket". Not to mention that Higgins was better a better all around player then Booker and he was a primary ball handler when Burks wasn't handling in the half court. I've come to the conclusion that Tad isn't a good X's and O's coach, and he's a recruiter. This is workable if you have assistants who can get something out of an offense, or even draw up a friggin inbounds play. This team looks the same way every Boyle coached CU team would look if it lost any of the before mentioned players. Hopkins is the only guy that even resembles the player that Boyle has made a living off of, and he's a long way away from being consistent enough to even be mentioned with the other guys. Most disappointing to me is the fact that we have no outside shooters, nobody that can create there own shot outside of booker (and that's usually a bad shot), and no sign of this sophomore class living up to the hype.
