Coach K doesn't get the best players because of the program he built.  He was able to build a great program because people set up the best recruits families for life if they chose Duke.   No coach in America (other than K) has ever coached a team with as much talent as this year's Duke team with the possible exception of the Anthony Davis Kentucky team .  If you put together a non-Duke ACC dream team they would be FAR less talented than this Duke team ... and K couldn't win the ACC, couldn't get a 1 seed.  He has far superior players (because other people are cheating for him) and he underachieves, relative to the talent disparity.

I was being hyperbolic when I said Boeheim is the greatest coach ever.  Truthfully, its very hard to differentiate from the outside between really great coaches.  Boeheim is definitely in that top group of coaches, but whether he is slightly better than Calhoun who is also in that top group (who Boeheim has a winning record against) or the original Thompson who is also in that top group (who has a winning record against Boeheim) is really hard to tell.

I can tell you that K is not in that top group, and neither is Izzo.
