If you want to talk purely about basketball coaching ability, I'm sorry but I have never looked too long at the top programs for my ideas. Mike Krzyzewski, Dean Smith and Jim Calhoun all run (or have run) top programs but I'm not going to spend a lot of time watching their tapes for x's and o's.

Most coaches don't have the luxury of dominant athletes so I want role models who can lurk around year after year with 1 gym rat, one walk-one, 2 football players and one folding chair. Guys like Pete Caril, Bud Pressley, David Arsenault and Dick Bennett.

Wow. Dean Smith didn't impress you with tactics and strategy. Just...wow.

Seriously. That may be more ridiculous than putting Calhoun on the same plane as Dean and K.
