Golden fits in here as well.  I would say top 3 coaches in basketball.  Hurley #1.  2 and 3 are a toss up.

Be interesting to see what happens to UConn when Murray leaves.   They didn’t click until he got there and fixed/righted their offense.  Hurley is a high intensity, get your going playing hard and to the whistle coach.  Hangs his coaching on defense.  But before Murray got there their offense wasn’t good enough.   Murray is the one that brought it all together.

But this Final four and to an extension the elite 8 was a prime example of why coaching is so valuable and why I wanted Schertz ahead of Gerry.  Hurley’s roster is not as good as Illinois or dukes, but he coached clinics around both.

Lloyd is a great recruiter and has a decent system.  But totally outclassed by May.  I always thought Arizona was overrated all year.   They were a great team, but couldn’t believe the experts thought they were the best team in America.  Michigan since the beginning of the year has been a freight train and overwhelmed teams.  Still can’t believe people thought Arizona was the better team.  Even if talent was similar, May is 2-3 times the coach of Lloyd.

Michigan has size and can shoot.  They essentially were missing their best player last night and were up 28 at one point.  Arizona had no perimeter shooting to be a threat to Michigan.

Illinois scored under 60 2 times all year.  Best offense in college basketball.  The 2 games, both against UConn.  I mean I get it, UConn buys in and plays tough defense, but that’s coaching. You couldn’t make any adjustments from your first matchup?
