So you get bizarre things like Griffen playing 25 minutes one game then 7 the next, Moore starts but plays the fewest minutes of any regular, Storr scores 20 PPG on a tournament team yet can't find minutes on a team that scored like 120 points in 2 games combined and of course Flory will never be better than "his guy". He has to adjust and accept guys who don't fit his exact system and he, so far, hasn't. Maybe getting rid of all of "his guys" next year will force him to do that.

I think you've hit the nail on the head here. He sort of did the same with Remy too before he won a championship for us (despite Remy being one of the best players in NCAA coming from ASU). He just doesn't trust these guys and it's killing this team right now.
