You're clueless.


No disrespect intended to Jim Calhoun but he isn't yet close to being the coach that Dean Smith was.
He may one day be in the class of Wooden, Smith, Knight, Rupp, and Kryzewski, to name a few but not yet.
Jim Calhoun would tell you the same thing.

There's a lot more to being a truly great coach than just winning two national championships.
