I don't think the majority of ppl bringing up the adaptation issue believe JB is a bad or unsuccessful coach.  I don't believe they don't like him.  I don't believe they don't think he isn't the face of SU basketball or that SU is a very successful program.  I, for one, just wonder how much better we could be if, for example, we played tough man defense for 20% of the game.  Of course it's all speculation but is it probable that this would cause the other team to make in-game adjustments as opposed to knowing [B]exactly[/B] what to do [B]every[/B] time down the floor?  They don't have to prepare for ANY other defense from us.  They do not have to prepare for an offensive threat in the post.

If you look at other coaches with 800+ wins at major universities and how many titles and FF they have won:

Mike K-  4/11
JB- 1/4
Bob Knight-3/5
Dean Smith-2/11 
Adolph Rupp-4/6
Jim Calhoun- 3/4

Has JB underachieved?  I don't know but it looks that way according to the above.
