How badly does this team need a PG?

I'm not so sure that he is berating them like a Bobby Knight-type coach; I think it's more of him being animated and loud while trying to coach up a player. I had a coach like that in high school, one who from a spectator's position would look to be yelling but would basically be talking about how to do things the next time you were on the floor.

The players don't react to him that way though, you can see them visually upset about it.

i understand where pudge is coming from, but i don't think that's entirely accurate. i've never seen altman yell at a player and the player be visibly upset with him; what i tend to see is a player visibly upset with themself, altman pulls him aside to talk about what just went wrong, and they take a seat. i've never considered altman an uber-tough disciplinarian. he's not a complete walk over like ernie kent, the man has some backbone, but i don't think he's a frank martin by any stretch of the imagination (is that the name of the k-state coach?).

Yep, that's his name. I remember when K-State came to Mac Court in 2007 and he was just screaming his head off on the sidelines. Those are the type of coaches I don't particularly like.

Getting back to the original post, it obviously would have been really helpful to have Artis this season. At the same time, a lot of freshman have "growing pains", so it's hard to know just how much he would have helped. We are losing a ton next season, so let's just hope these new guys we are getting can step in and have success right away.
