You miss the fantasy version of JC you’ve created.

Or maybe I’m misremembering.  The way I remember things there were years we had great proven teams and this forum had a lot of people complaining JC’s teams rarely blew out opponents like Duke, NC, or Kansas.

We went through several years post Dream Season where people complained JC could not recruit a competent big and people labeled JC a donut team coach.

And when he couldn’t get to the final four people were grumbling we might need a different coach to get us there.

People criticized the down years following NCs feeling that they felt shouldn’t happen. People were critical of his handling KFree in his senior season. The Dyson senior season and the Taliek freshman years were perceived quite differently than the glamorous description you wrote.

And his final season was disappointing relative to talent and expectations.  We know KO’s player exodus and rightly criticized him for it.  There was a lot of criticism when we lost Alex and R. Smith.

Even HOF coaches have years where they struggle with player and team development, struggle to recruit well, and struggle to win it all.
