Fouhy: Given time, Hurley will be great at ASU

Junior guard Andre Spight has decided to walk away from the ASU men's basketball team with just four games to go in the regular season.

That begs the question: What's going on with the Sun Devil basketball program?

Spight is the second player to leave the program this season, while three others have been suspended for various reasons, leaving first-year coach Bobby Hurley with just 10 healthy, eligible players to finish out the season.

In simple terms, this is called building a program -- or growing pains. It's never easy to establish new ground rules. Some guys just aren't going to fit in, or even like the new plan.

But fear not: Hurley is a great coach, and he'll do great things at ASU. It's just going to take a little time.
