[QUOTE="Huskyfan990411, post: 2082167, member: 1345"] This whole idea that KO is a bad coach is so funny to me. When he had an experienced team that could run his system we won the whole damn thing. Take a look at the past few national champions and I think you can see a pattern: 2016 - Nova - Almost every key player was Jr/Sr 2015 - Duke - Team had 4 guys who have played in the NBA 2014 - UConn - Dont need to explain this one 2013 - Ville - Another team full of Jr/Sr that carried the team 2012 - Kentucky - Had 5 NBA players on it including Anthony Davis Notice the pattern here? The best teams in the country either have teams that are heavily experienced or are littered with NBA players. Each one of these teams have great coaches that also have struggled when they don't have the players to run their system. Everyone regards Coach K as one of the best all time but somehow his teams only seem to be elite when they have elite talent. Look at the structure of our roster. Our 3 seniors are all limited players who just don't have the skills to be the lead guy. That happens sometimes and should also not be surprising since 2 of the 3 were not high ranked recruits to begin with so that they have some limitations should not be surprising in the least. Purvis was highly ranked but just didn't pan out to be an elite guy. He is a solid player but not the lead guy. Of the remaining roster its all Fr and So and of that group 2 of the 3 most talented guys sat out all year. How is anyone surprised that this team has struggled? [/QUOTE]
