And it's easier to keep everyone happy as well
I actually think for most coaches it would be more difficult. This is why Fred is pretty amazing at doing this.
You are bringing in guys to play over guys who have been in the program several years. To me that would cause lots of bitter feelings in the locker room. I have been in the program for 2 years, and now you bring a 5th year senior to play over me? Its one thing to accept a guy who is a senior going through the program to play over me, an completely different thing to bring a senior from the outside.
There is a reason why most said this transfer thing would fail, because in most cases it probably does. Most athletes have pretty big ego's as they should because its what drives a lot of them.
I think it was Dakich that said the other night there are list of reasons why guys from the NBA for the most part fail to do well in college, and Fred Hoiberg has come in and just disproved them all. (Or something to that effect.) Point being most college coaches do not have the skill set to build teams the way he does it, its really an amazing thing.
