Message: [QUOTE="gtcam, post: 3916750, member: 2844"] To be a top tier coach you have to have the full package but most importantly you need to coach to wins. Some HCs do very little of the hands on recruitment until actually sitting down with the recruit and/or family so I discount that area a bit but it is important to be an effective closer. Dan Hurley is obviously a great closer Another must is to be able to communicate to and gain the respect of your players. Jay Wright, Mike Anderson, Dan Hurley and Cooley I feel shine in this area. Right now the only coach in the NBE that hits all the buckets, based on NBE results, is Jay Wright. I think Mike Anderson has hit them all over his career but St Johns has got to achieve consecutive winning seasons. Dan Hurley has a way to grow within the in game coaching area but he is in the top 5 - I feel he and Cooley are on level ground there. I would have included McDermott but feel he may be gone after Creighton loses in the NCAAs [/QUOTE]
