Message: [QUOTE="swish7, post: 5581984, member: 486"] Winning is a byproduct of fielding a team of winners & I assume can be aided by great coaching. Was JB a materially different coach in his down years vs his up years? I think not. He just assembled more winners in those up years. I honestly don't know what makes a great coach. I feel like one would need to see their practices to know. I think Izzo is one, based on consistency & usually peaking in March. Hurley, Few. I assume they teach the fundamentals, have innovative & effective systems, recruit winners & foster a culture of winning, are inspiring, demanding, adaptable, knowledgeable. I write this as I watch MSU fight back to steal the momentum from NC, with Izzo practically willing them back into the game. [/QUOTE]
