Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 3535781, member: 168"] 2014 is the lowest seeded title team since 85 Nova and definitely among the (if not the) weakest title team since at least the field expanded to 64. Yet this guy wants to pretend the coach had nothing to do with them winning. It's crazy. We can say that KO was good for a few years and then wasn't without invalidating Hurley or being sincere in being happy Hurley's here rather than Ollie at this stage. But those early KO teams showed that the guy had some coaching chops. There were also some signs of what was to come (particularly in some WTF losses and an uncreative offense), but KO could script OOB plays then, motivate his players, and adjust at halftime. And nobody looked at that bracket and thought UConn [I]could[/I] win. That they did means credit should go to the First Team AA (that KO helped mold) the great defense of Boat, the development of Daniels (and coaching gets credit) and the coach that led this team.
