Message: [QUOTE="KingAG, post: 2059281, member: 6716"] Ppl keep referencing "post shabazz" like the year before the championship wasnt a coaching masterpiece. I'm sure you were on of those same ppl then claiming that season was lost. Then in the championship run KO out coached 3 hall of fame coaches and a really good one in fred hoiberg. Last yr you can say we "underacheived" but we still won 25 games, won the conference tourney, and eventually lost to the number 1 overall seed in Kansas. How different would the narrative be if we drew the teams Cuse faced in the tourney. We probably get to at least the sweet 16. KO has his flaws that need fixing, it's also true that we haven't been classic UCONN dominant in a few years. But it's not KO'S fault Look at the situation he was handed. He was handed a program that was "dead" according to almost every national pundit. He was left and forsaken to a near mid major conference with severe recruiting sanctions. And through all of that won us a freaking championship, had us a top 10 recruiting class, and has a still relevant nationally on the recruiting trail. Hand 95% of the coaches in college basketball the circumstances KO had and UCONN would be dead. The disrespect KO gets on here sometimes is astounding. We have become spoiled and really don't know how good we have it. RANT OVER [/QUOTE]
