Message: [QUOTE="intlzncster, post: 2678454, member: 56"] They were regular season conference champions the year before he got there. They were conference tournament champs 2 years before he got there. I mean, they even went to the Final game in the NCAAs 2 years before he got there. That's hardly on the verge of falling into irrelevance. He walked into a winner, and turned it in to a goshdarn juggernaut. He deserves all the credit in the world, but let's not pretend he took over some moribund regional school. They struggled in the mid 70s, but had turned it around before he arrived. [/QUOTE]
