Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5221935, member: 44"] The real question is do we win the 2014 national championship with a different coach? I'm not sure that we do. KO was the right guy for that year. The problem is he was the wrong guy for every year afterwards. With the benefit of hindsight, that's probably because he benefited from Jim Calhoun developing the players, notably, Shabazz Napier. But after the championship season, he seemed disinterested in putting in the effort and wanted to distance himself from Jim Calhoun, two fatal mistakes. In many ways, he's the "anti-Hurley". As long as we delving into alternative realities, if KO doesn't get the job, it probably goes to Shaka Smart, who was lobbying heavily for it. He's a really good coach, but is he as good as Dan Hurley? I don't think so. so in the end, everything, including the miserable KO seasons, worked out for the best. [/QUOTE]
