Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4142600, member: 1023"] Yeah, but there is a pretty wide cavern between as good as Jim Calhoun and a coach who can get you to the Sweet 16 or the Elite 8 on a semi-regular basis with a shot at going all the way. But answer this. How long will UNC wait for Roy’s successor or Duke wait for K’s to get them to make deep runs? I’m betting not 6-7 years. Those guys aren’t getting it done by year 4 they’ll be coaching at Raleigh Community College the next year. I think the Calipari comment means exactly what Nelson said. Guys a hustler, with good connections who can recruit. But come game day he tosses the ball out there and says, go play! It is the caricature folks have of Cal, but you don’t win as many as he does without some ability to coach. [/QUOTE]
