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.

Not to mention Tark the Shark. NCAA D1 record of 778-202. He just...errr...stretched the rules a bit. Anybody can win with JJ Redick. But Lloyd Daniels? The man's a genius! His only problem is he looks like Uncle Festus.

The NCAA does NOT like Uncle Festus.



btw...Al "Grampa" Lewis recently passed...may his communist @ss rest in peace, God love him.
