But when he won the title I gave him his due quite publicly. Even said I might have been wrong about him. Alas it turns out I wasn’t. He was utterly unprepared to be a head coach. Though he did s fine job with Calhoun’s recruits and a team that got hot at the right time and in hind sight got the perfect matchups and the regional finals as a virtual home game. And another team that made a surprise run in the finals in 8 seed Kentucky. In hindsight again that was one of those magical runs that happens in sports and in the NCAA tourney from time to time. Danny Manning Kansas(6 seed mediocre regular season) Valvano NC State (6 seed in a 53? Team tourney)are other similar cases. Butler James Madison and Va Commenwealth gettingvto the Final 4 are similar though not as successful examples. [/QUOTE]
