Before we crown Coach K the greatest of all time

[pfister1]

When it comes to the greatest of all time I'll take the guy with ten national championships in twelve years.

Geno?

Geno?

haha similar domination.

SU still hasn't called a TO yet in that 87' game.

The last 45 seconds of that game was hell on earth

Pound for pound I would take Jay Wright over coach K. Give them the same talent and it isn't close.

LOL.

But that’s the thing. Talent is EVERYTHING and you need to recruit it and sculpt it each seasons.

I think most will still consider Wooden the greatest but K has an argument and is the clear number 2.

There are so many what ifs in these games. What if Cipola misses the fall away shot against Georgia? One less FF for us. What if Hakim had cheated one more step toward the lane? Maybe he doesn't get out to make the block, the game goes to OT and Kansas rides momentum to a NC. I'm not gonna use what ifs to take championships away from K.

I think Bobby Knight is the best. Wooden had such a talent discrepancy, it made it unfair.

I’d take Wright or Bennett. Throw Few up there too.

I know I know Bennett’s a choke artist. Give the man time and he’ll change it.

Self, Williams, K and Cal. I can’t love a program I dont trust.

If you are separating recruiting from coaching, I can see that. If you include recruiring as part of it, I think the way he trailed off at the end hurts his case.

Hmm. See what if one coach is following the rules and the other isn't...

LOL.

But, when the talent is bought and paid for or directed to a program by the shoe companies, it makes it much more difficult to gauge how well a coach recruits when considering the best coach.

Straight up coaching. Our guy is really high on that list, too. Top 5, I would think.
