You hear lots of former players talk about their time with Hitch and how they hated him when they played but do nothing but praise him for making them better players.
I don't care if the players are besties with the coaches, they just need to play well and become better.


His quote from what I remembered was something along the lines "He's a #%#% idiot and we tuned him out by December"

Again. This was a long time ago and an associates role is much different than a head coach's. Some people will never be good HC's, but are great complimentary guys. He hasn't seen much playoffs in his career as a coach.

The jury is out.
