Message: [QUOTE="WlfdHusky, post: 4590942, member: 674"] I really enjoy your posts - I find them really informed but I think you are missing the mark hard here. "Great by what standard?" - Here is the standard I am proposing - active contemporary coaches. there are 350 or so programs. How many coaches can you honestly say are doing a better job than he is now - or more succinctly, would have had Uconn in the elite 8 a year or two earlier or already won a ship? He has turned this program around. It was emaciated and floundering. In his [B]18th[/B] year as a head coach at D1 Calhoun got to the Elite 8. It is true that he got Uconn to the elite 8 in his 4th year while Dan Hurley took 5 years. Was JC a great coach only after his 3rd NC? After his 2nd? If Dan Hurley gets a NC this year, then is he great? What is [B]your [/B]standard? Does he have to win 2 NCs and coach another 15 years? Edit - And you were right - the OP is\was definitely cringeworthy. [/QUOTE]
