Are you saying that Coach Willson was just lucky to have had talent in the 3 years his teams won the EBAL title? He gets the most out of the talent he has. If you saw this year’s team play, the first thing you would notice is the lack of talent. Aside from Dylan Heath, they really didn’t have a scoring threat and they were undersized, especially after losing all 3 of their football players during the year. Yet, they managed to play outstanding defense and were very competitive, playing both co-champions SRV and DLS to within 7 points and beating every other EBAL team at least once in route to a 3rd place finish. Not many coaches could have accomplished that with the personnel he had to work with. Not to say they weren’t athletic, but he got them to play hard and aside from a couple of games, were very competitive all year.

What does “DLS and one of the Pleasanton/Danville schools, when with that large student body gets talent will be the top team next year” mean? Half the 8-team league is either a Pleasanton or Danville school. Picking DLS to finish first or the Livermore schools not to finish first is not exactly going out on a limb.

DLS and one of the Pleasanton/Danville schools, when with that large student body gets talent will be the top team next year.

The Livermore frosh coach did not have a handle on his guys. He had a lose cannon as a point guard and his dad was always berating the kid and team.
I’m glad you are not on the hiring committee for this job!

Totally committed, totally open, totally honest. Cal really does lose a great one. Make the replacement a one year temporary spot!
