Shields next year

Some have said that this season has been one of Steve Shields' best coaching jobs since he has been at Little Rock, and I agree. He has taken a difficult situation and has built a team that is at least competitive in the Sun Belt. It looks like help is on the way size-wise next season, but Steve will have another challenge at adaptable coaching next year, because next year's roster may again be different than anything he has had. For a change, he may have a team with enough height. However, some of the height is not going to be typical of the type big men he has had. We'll see how he molds his strategy.
