Well it may not be coaching so much

Even if it's not a coaching problem, it's a coaching problem. Coaches are responsible for recruiting & development, and if they missed red flags along the way, that's on them.

Yup, the buck has to stop somewhere.  Question is whether this was an unforeseeable thing that won't happen again or whether this reflects some underlying misjudgment by the staff for which there is risk of repeat. 

Separately (or maybe relatedly) I was a bit put off by the fact that Haase wrote daily letters to Williams.  Makes me think he's focusing too much on getting highly recruited mega-whales and not enough on making the most of the players we have.
