You need to have the backing of the AD to implement that because there will be huge bumps in the road AND the odds of it working are slim . Here is why

    - the US system does not produce that type of player consistently
    - when they do. they go to schools that have a tradition of playing that way and tenured coaches
    - weather up there

    You are much better off trying to recruit athletic, tough kids and playing a very simplified style that minimizes risk and focuses on set pieces. When I look at that roster, its not going to do either particularly well.
    I don’t see the AD being particularly patient although he would certainly need to tread lightly with an alum. Rooting for her to do well and be given time. I think if they show improvement next year, they’ll renew her contract.

      Here’s the universal response of a college AD when a coach attempts to “get their backing on playing style” as you say...

      Coach: I’m thinking about playing a defensive, possession oriented, build out of the back style vs a direct style this season. What are your thoughts on that? Can I count on your backing?

                But she’ll be fine, nothing to worry about, when she gets her played in, she’s gotta find her groove, excellence takes time, Rome wasn’t built in a day, go Huskies, she’s still getting to know her team, she recruited players for Lenny’s system not hers, blah blah blah blah.

                Not qualified !!!!
