Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 2515132, member: 71"] Actually there is no way to say anyone else would have done the same. The thing that gets me is the selective memory by many here. Nobody seems to remember how connected to each individual player KO was during that run. Nobody seems to remember how fully he was able to read the pulse of the team and each critical situation. That run wasn't completed by one of the UCLA teams (which normally had three or four first team all Americans) from the late 60's or the 1976 Indiana Hoosiers. A very limited, very incomplete team kept beating teams most experts claimed were too strong for us. I will go so far as to wager against any other coach (Jim Calhoun, Pitino, Donovan, even Danny Hurley) getting a title out of that team. Yes, the past few years have been terrible. That can stand on its own, we don't need to belittle what he accomplished in 2014 in order to claim what has happened since is unacceptable. [/QUOTE]
