Don’t get me wrong – I loved me some Dale Brown. But man, he seriously underperformed with loaded rosters and then brought a bunch of nobodies to Final Fours. He could recruit and motivate marginal players, but he didn’t have a clue with superstar players.

freaking Dale Brown

Yet his successors have made him look like a genius.
Daddy Dale could recruit like a mofo, though, and occasionally he pulled some actual gametime coaching out of his backside, like coming up with his Freak defense.

what if you needed one NFL assistant coach with no coordinator experience to help you draw up the most pointless hypothetical you could think of that involved you somehow dying? Who do you choose?

Dave Campo

if you needed one ncaa coach (from a top 30 program) as your game coach/tactician, to decide your life, who’d you take?

Pitino.

His freshman year (89-90), LSU already had Chris Jackson (27.8ppg) and Stanley Roberts (14.1/9.8/1.9 bpg – 26.8 mins.) on a loaded roster. Not a lot of shots to go around.

I agree. Same could be said in 15 years for Anthony Davis about his freshman stats as well since he plays on a team where yes, he’s the leading scorer at 14.4 ppg but the next 5 guys averages go as follows: 13.5, 12.4, 11.9, 10.1, and 9.9. Talk about balance.

Still can’t believe they didn’t do dick in the tournament – freaking Dale Brown.

Buzz Williams….his guys play their asses off

Mike Woodson.

For whatever reason Izzo was the first person that came to mind. And if he lost he would probably make me feel better about me being killed moments after final buzzer.

On another note, has Boehiem ever had back to back to back seasons like Cal has had at Kentucky? Elite, Final Four and possible National Champion tonight.

I brought this up over the weekend on here….his last 7 seasons are insane:
Elite 8, Elite 8, Runner-up, Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final 4, Championship game

He’s a fun player to watch. Almost 5 blocks a game. Awesome.

This x100. I hate KY, but he’s a really good watch.

His frame is so big, you’d think he could put on some weight (35-45lbs?) in the next 2 years. Playing inside will require it.

Ewing and Olajuwon came along in the era without the shot clock, which meant they

are likely the same age as Jamie Moyer.

I went to an ABA game with the Pittsburgh Xpolsion a few years back — they played at Mellon Arena, there was about 250 people in the stands. It was tough.

What Hakeem did to the Admiral that one year in the WCF, DAMN. He worked him every which way but loose.

This season has really put a dagger in his various coaching narratives, especially if UK wins tonight.

You can win a national championship and still be a choker. See Boeheim, Jim. On another note, has Boehiem ever had back to back to back seasons like Cal has had at Kentucky? Elite, Final Four and possible National Champion tonight.
