Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 3433273, member: 44"] Yep, he also said that Big 10 was a conference of institutions but the Big East was a conference of coaches. Boy was right about the latter. When I think about the greats who coached there it in its relatively short existence, it really is staggering. He said both IIRC. Essentially he said that IU would always be a great basketball school whether he was there or not (ironic in hindsight) but that in the Big East coaches had more impact on the success or failure of their programs. Regardless, he gave Calhoun advice that led him to UConn. That will always be a plus mark for me when I think of him. [/QUOTE]
