NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The increased star power of the Southeastern Conference mens basketball coaching fraternity hasnt made an immediate impact.Those high-profile coaches have discovered this isnt a conference conducive to quick turnarounds.One year ago, Mississippi States Ben Howland, Tennessees Rick Barnes and Alabamas Avery Johnson arrived in the SEC while Florida began the post-Billy Donovan era with Mike White arriving from Louisiana Tech. Howland and Barnes had combined for four Final Fours and 32 NCAA Tournament berths, while Johnson had coached the Dallas Mavericks to the NBA Finals.None of the four new coaches led their teams to the NCAA Tournament in their opening seasons. Florida and Alabama reached the NIT, while Mississippi State and Tennessee had losing seasons.I think its really hard anywhere, Howland said Wednesday at the SEC Tipoff media days event. Its very rare that youre going to take over a program thats got the cupboard loaded and youre ready to just come in and win from Day One. Were in a building process right now.Auburns Bruce Pearl and South Carolinas Frank Martin can attest to the notion that it takes time to build a winner in this league nowadays.Pearl reached the NCAA Tournament each of his six seasons at Tennessee, but hes 26-40 in two years at Auburn. Martin, who earned NCAA bids each of his last three years at Kansas State, hasnt reached the NCAA Tournament in five years at South Carolina.For all the so-called very intelligent experts who think this league stinks, there are a lot of coaches in this league whove been in Final Fours, Elite Eights and so forth that get to this league and they dont finish in the upper half of the league, Martin said. This leagues very good. This leagues very unforgiving.All those coaches had tough assignments.Howland, who made three straight Final Fours at UCLA from 2006-08, inherited a Mississippi State program that hasnt earned an NCAA bid since 2009. Barnes was Tennessees third coach in as many seasons. Alabama has reached the NCAA Tournament once in the last 10 seasons.I cant speak for the other coaches, but I know based on what we inherited, we were just trying to survive, said Johnson, who went 18-15 in his debut season. I was hoping wed win five games. I didnt think we would win 18.White had to replace the most successful coach in Florida history while taking over a program that was coming off a losing season.Our culture over the last couple of years isnt where it obviously was when Coach Donovan was winning a million games and going to Final Fours and winning championships, White said. Were trying to get back to that culture -- or even three-quarters of that culture, baby steps -- to get back to some of the personalities of some of the best teams he ever had.That doesnt necessarily mean all these coaches are adjusting expectations or declaring themselves years away.Barnes set the NCAA Tournament as a goal last season and is doing the same this year, even though his team was picked to finish 13th out of 14 teams in the SEC preseason media poll that came out Wednesday.I dont think you do this with the idea that theres a timetable, Barnes said. I think every day youve got to be ready to do it. Youve got to get your guys to understand. They all think theyre good enough anyway. Then youve got to make sure they understand what it takes for us to win as a team.But it could take time for each of these coaches.Barnes said he could have four or five freshmen on the floor at once this season, as his roster includes nine newcomers (seven true freshmen, one redshirt freshman and a graduate transfer). Howland said he could end up starting two or three freshmen.Were going to have a lot of adversity because were going to have ups and downs, Howland said. Weve got to try to get our guys to learn from their mistakes and continue to improve and get better, because were all going to make mistakes.These coaches track records suggest that improvement eventually will come.Having those guys in the league is good for us top to bottom, Martin said. I know Ricks going to build Tennessee into what hes done everywhere hes been before. Bruce is going to do what he does at Auburn. Hes proven that he wins everywhere hes been. Ben won big at Pitt, won big at UCLA. Hes going to win big at Mississippi State.Averys dynamic -- you watch his teams play last year. Our leagues good. Mike White, the same thing.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Running back Jamaal Charles is unlikely to play for the Kansas City Chiefs in Sundays season opener at the San Diego Chargers, coach Andy Reid said Friday.?Charles was listed on the injury report as doubtful.?Spencer Ware has been getting most of the first-team snaps at running back during training camp and the preseason. The Chiefs also have Charcandrick West and Knile Davis available at running back.Theyll all play, said Chiefs coach Andy Reid when asked if Ware would start. We have some personnel groupings so well see how that goes. You could probably say that but it depends on the personnel groups so dont hold me accountable.Charles missed much oof last season after tearing his ACL in a Week 5 game against the Chicago Bears.dddddddddddd The Chiefs were optimistic through much of the offseason that Charles would be ready to practice when the team started training camp, but his rehab didnt progress as quickly as the Chiefs predicted.Charles didnt rejoin the Chiefs for practice until the final days of training camp and even then in a limited way. He has yet to regain even in practice the full-time featured back role that he held before the injury. Charles did not play in the preseason. ' ' '
