By the time K had been at Duke that long, he'd been to nine. K spent five years at Army, and was apparently impressive enough to Tom Butters to give him an opportunity at Duke. Sure, Calhoun was very successful at Northeastern, but are you telling me that he was turning down jobs at major programs in order to stay at Northeastern? Please. If you don't think K could have gone somewhere and built a program, you're out of your mind. Hell, once the seniors he inherited at Duke graduated after his first year, Duke was in absolutely horrible shape. Considering the league he was in, he did his own major construction job. The results of that project: since 1985, exactly one senior class has left Duke without having been to a Final Four, and that group lost by two in a regional final.

Packer should never be allowed to get near a Big Ten game---all we heard today was how tired Michigan State had to be, when in fact Iowa just simply defended the crap out of them. 1 for 13 after their halftime blow! Packer should have prepared better---twice he felt he had to let fans know of how fast Trannon,the football star, was---how Haluska couldn't stay with him. Haluska won 11 track titles in high school---the 100,200, 400, and long jump his senior year. He is probably the best pure athlete in the conference---so much for Packer's insight.

I have seen a lot of mediocre teams adapt NC strategies and they are . . . well, mediocre teams. No knock against Dean as his teams never had mediocre athletes. I attended one of his coaching clinics when I was a pup and it was about the biggest waste of school money I could imagine. Alternatively, around the same time, I spent about 30 minutes casually talking with a disciple of Dick Bennett and it has provided me with a career's-worth of perspective. I'll let others debate K v. Calhoun v. Boeheim, etc. because my public school teams will really never resemble their teams in terms of relative athletic dominance and I won't borrow much from them in terms of x's and o's. I will admit that Dean is in another class but he has never been much of a mentor for me either. I'm not satisfied with mediocrity even when my athletes are mediocre so I'm generally not content to copy coaches who have strategized for top athletes. It's hard to separate recruiting and all of the other elements of college coaching but I still use teams like Wisconsin-Green Bay and Princeton as a measuring stick - could K, Calhoun, Boeheim or Dean (with the possible exception of a small window when he may have had a trick or two up his sleeve) have coached them to the big dance? I have never seen evidence convincing me that they could have. But then they've never really had to do that either.
