This is what you guys are not understanding...This doesn't happen on Coach Dean's teams. No matter where he has been the players respect him so much they would never dream of coming out on the field and not giving their best effort because they wouldn't do that to Coach Dean. The players themselves respect him so much they would never put him in that position. This is what happened to Hammons last season and even the year before, it's been happening there for awhile now actually. The players just stopped respecting him and he couldn't get anything out of him, and finally he just gave up and as a result last season happened.

I would disagree stating that Hammons quit coaching and trying to work with these kids. They improved a lot during the season and played some good teams a lot closer late in the year. I don't think the kids quit trying they just didn't have the talent throughout the lineup to compete.
