Opening night in many gyms may resonate the famous quote from Major League ... "Who the F are these guys?"

I'm not saying I disagree with you.
But I think you could also be discrediting the importance of "coaching" in that regard. To your point, "the perception is it is always the players leaving on their own." That means the truth is coaches are moving on from players very quickly. Not sure that exactly speaks highly of their "coaching" ability when it comes to working with and developing players. I feel like the same way we hammer the student athletes for helping to create a transient world of college athletics, the coaches need to be held just as responsible for that.
Using a local example and not saying anything otherwise, I'd rather see Joe work his tail off to get the absolute most out of Dolan Waldo and grow and develop him into the player everyone assumed he could be. Sometimes that takes work and time. That shows coaching ability. Says far less about coaches these days, in my opinion, if they are just good at "hitting" on guys coming in from the portal on one-year deals. But fans and donors everywhere expect instant and immediate success. So coaches simply become a product of the environment that keeps the checks coming.
Also, probably goes to the players character. Are they willing to put the work in to prove they can get there? Or are they of the belief that they're already there and coaches say "see ya then".

So, what I weeks ago called "the worst kept secret in the Atlantic" officially came to fruition today.
Question now is will the 'McClurg to IUP' rumor come true, or will he try his hand in D1 again?
Joe having a backcourt of Garvin, McClurg and Dillard would be pretty scary.
Keep in mind, Joe heavily recruited McClurg out of the Portal when he left New Hampshire. The story (allegedly) is Danny convinced him he could be a star immediately at Cal, rather than wait in line at IUP. He picked Cal.
Joe's going to get a second chance. McClurg has two years' eligibility and is the reigning West POY.
