he is largely winning with the previous coach's players.
not this year. he has lots of jrs and srs because he recruited a bunch of jucos. he only has three players that are holdovers from the previous coach (those three do get lots of minutes, and two have high oratings, but the two highest usage guys are new).
even last year, it's not like he walked into a bunch of three year starters. the team lost three sr starters from the previous year.
