Fair. Sometimes the coach and the school don't match up, meaning it's a bad hire. While Joe Scott and Princeton did not, he went on to prove he is a pretty good coach.

In hindsight, everyone should have seen that Scott was a bad pick.

From what I understand, he preferred a strict traditional Princeton offense in the mold of Carril's glory days.

Carmody and JTII had moved away from that strategy and allowed players more freedom. They liked the freedom. They liked dunking. And they had success with it.

So when Scott wanted them to turn back the clock, it's not surprising when players didn't buy into it. And I'm sure Scott picked up a few coaching habits at Air Force that didn't go over well with the Tigers.

All around, it was a bad fit. Both Princeton and Scott were better off without the other.

Thank you for the insightful background on the Joe Scott/Princeton mistake. Was that a rare Gary Walters mistake?
