Q&A with College of Charleston basketball coach Earl Grant - Charleston Post Courier
College of Charleston basketball coach Earl Grant took over a program in turmoil just two months before the season opener. Grant, who became the team’s fourth head coach in four years, and the Cougars struggled through a 9-24 season, losing more games than any other men’s basketball team in school history. Grant talked about his first season as a head coach, challenges his team faced and what the future holds for the College of Charleston. I think some of that was because of the youth and the fact that I didn’t get a chance to work with the guys for very long before the season started. Despite our record, I think we’re closer than most people think to figuring it out. Q: How much of your system were you able to implement this season and how much more is there to install between now and next season. A: “It’s one thing to have a system and it’s another to figure out if the system you have will fit the players you’ve got. I think the first two months I implemented a system that I knew and then as I figured out the kind of players we had I started to change what we were doing. When you recruit the guys that fit your system that’s when the system works. Source: www.postandcourier.com
