Yes Lowery is a good coach, but don't you think he benefitted from the success of Weber and Painter. SIU was almost the perfect job for an unproven coach. Contrast that to what Soderberg walked into. Totally different situation.

I'm really impressed with how SIU gets out on defense. Consistently disrupt what an offense wants to do. Looking at the strengths of that team(guards-swing forwards), I'm thinking Soderberg may be going after similar talents. This may be why it is being reported that Soderberg is seemingly going after 6'5-6'7 guys as opposed to that 6'8+ monster.

Watching Matt Shaw at 6'6" hold his own against a very good OK Stat team does give credence to the viability of that size player at PF.

Yes, but it is a much easier proposition to find a 6'6" PF with hops and strength than a 6'8" masher on the blocks.
