Weird article, it is like congratulating Woolridge because he got out of Denton.   Made McCasland appear almost happy that he developed a player that could get a ship at Gonzaga.  Nothing against McCasland, what else could he say.

His 2nd year, the other teams realized that he couldn't make free throws so they always fouled him. 

Made me so mad lol

You are going to replace him with players that have an outside shot and can shoot free throws. Wooly can play D, and a very quick to the hoop, but lacking in the other areas. He was a non factor at the end of close games because of his free throw %.
