Hughey: "the thing that's been pleasantly surprising - is the culture has been really, really good."

It seems we might of had a few bad apples in the wbb program in the past.

Hughey’s admitted that he had to take some risky players in the past in order to build the program quicker. He was actually told by a few other coaches (Auriemma of UCONN being one of them) that he doesn’t need to do that.

I think he also realized that he was pushing last year’s team way too hard. Having a goal of a Sweet Sixteen is fine, but you got to make the tournament first and we’re still waiting on that. Hopefully, a lot of the issues have been worked out now and this team can stay focused even when things get tough.
