“I’m disappointed in my ability to help this team navigate success, and all the attention that it brings; being able to stay true to ourselves and true to the characteristics that have made us a successful program,” eighth-year Aggie coach Jim Les told The Enterprise.
“I think we lost our way (in 2018-19), and as the leader of the program, that’s on me.”
Les, the author of three 20-plus-game winning seasons in the last five, pondered the ups and downs before offering his next thought …
“Probably what makes the flashback more disappointing is that we showed flashes throughout the year of the type of team we could be and the level of basketball that we could play at — which was a pretty high level.
“We just weren’t able to establish a level of consistency with that.
“It first and foremost starts with our mindset and that’s what made it all the more frustrating for all of us — players and coaches. We had those moments where it was all clicking. It was pretty compelling.
“We just couldn’t find that blueprint enough.”
He confirmed that his staff will remain intact and that there’s still work to do before the April 19 signing deadline.
“We’re really excited about the recruiting class we’ve already signed. There’s going to be more to come,” Les added. “It’s a talented group. The lure of coming to a world-class university in a world-class community is really exciting.”
