Message: [QUOTE="Buzzyboy, post: 2080404, member: 1364"] With the limitations in the NFL, especially the salary cap, I think Belichick had an appreciably more difficult row to hoe than did Bill Walsh and those 49'er teams had appreciably more talent than has had the Pats. In this era, I seriously doubt that Bill Walsh would have had the same level of success that the Patriots under Bellichick have had. In regard to John Wooden, with the world knowing that Wooden had talent bought for him by a rabid booster that got him the best of the best of talent, I'm surprised that he's still on the top of your list for greatest men's basketball coach. I would have thought you might have picked Bobby Knight or Dean Smith or Coach K. Our own Jim Calhoun with four championships at a school that was only a regional power with horrible facilities when he took over might be another consideration, don't you think? Most of what Auerbach accomplished was a direct result of Bill Russell, though he obviously had a couple of other amazing Hall of Famers, like Cousy and Havlicek. Did Russell make Auerbach or did Auerbach make Russell? Just being the Devils Advocate here! [/QUOTE]
