than I. But even I gave them more than a few years before criticizing. I criticized them on their coaching (or lack thereof). So far, I think that Brookes is head and shoulders above either of his predecessors.
I noticed you joined TSL on Feb12, 2017. That being said, longevity of posting privileges doesn't add or detract from your credibility, but it does raise questions of your motives. You appear to have an agenda--may I ask what that might be?
You've cherry picked some items to support your argument, but there does appear to be an "alternative fact" situation. I'm sorry Parker left--in the few times I got to see her play, I thought she was a real talent. However, she left for more playing time, not because of Brookes. Parker wanted to play point ahead of Hicks, and that just wasn't going to happen. Her lack of patience could be a lack of maturity, but speculation about her is just as much an "alternative fact" situation as some of the arguments you present.
I hope you keep posting, because you offer a viewpoint that I'll respect, but not necessarily agree with. However, with very little data upon which to draw, your observations are premature at best, biased at worst.
BD, DW and JW created this situation, with most of the blame (IMHO) going to JW. JW was close to doing the same thing to the MBB program. Now, if you wanted to expound on JW, I might listen a little more. However, while what you write may prove to be true, it's definitely premature (at best). What I've found on TSL are some very strong opinions, a lot of them accurate. But, you must be prepared to defend your opinions--your defense of your positions will only become credible over time. Good luck. Welcome to TSL.
