Message: [QUOTE="Sonova, post: 2078965, member: 7513"] And while I don't think it's actually fair to compare Jim Calhoun and Kevin Ollie, I saw JC in his first year, take a team at the end of a long grueling season comprised of Tex Spradling, Greg Economu, Spider Ursery, Tate George and a one armed Steve Pikiell (Cliff and Phil has been declared academically ineligible at that point) and beat a Seton Hall team that a few years later would almost win the national championship. THAT is what a great coach does. And I remember thinking at the end of that season - even after going 9-19, that we were in good hands. I've watched KO for 5 years now, and with 4 & 5 star recruits and some interesting pieces (like Brimah and Facey and Seam Miller and Sterling Gibbs, etc) and I feel like we underachieve far more times than not, and underutilize the collection of talent and pieces that have been assembled. You must see something I don't. Or vice verse. Time will tell. [/QUOTE]
