I disagree. I think Hardy putting him on the rails with specific instructions is what has allowed him to be successful. He is a good player but does not have a great feel for the game and is not a good decision maker. This was true even at UCF. Perhaps that will come with time, but if TH was out there freestyling the end result would be ugly. He is not that type of player and that's fine. The coaching staff is keeping things simple for him.
If anything, the instruction is just to make the first snap decision like
@Saint Cy of JFC has mentioned. The more decision making/dribbling TH does the worse it is for him.
