It's easy to cherrypick two programs at their peak right now as what Identity should look like.

I think In fairness not many coaches have real Identities either, some just have top tier elite athletes up and down their bench and what they do on the court from year to year becomes the vision and makes the coaches look like a genius.  Duke was built around Cooper Flagg for one year last, that's not a "vision" that's just one guy and now he's gone.  So what's Duke's "vision" next year we just get the best of the best but maybe their strength will be their backcourt instead of Cooper. So is that their vision now?  I guess you can always say Houston is just dominant on Defense and the Zags are great offensively but with the portal that can always change too though.

Ask yourself this.  In 2003 when the old man won his Natty what was his "vision" cuz I can tell you I was there the year before in 2002 and that wasn't a vision of anything.  In 2003 there was really no vision either, no one knew what to expect except Melo was supposed to be a great Freshman.  Sure you can say oh the zone was part of the vision but when it's mostly freshman on that team doing what they did there was no way to pretend that the vision was to win a Natty with a bunch of random Frosh...

Last thing I will say though, The Orange Standard should've been trashed and buried.  You don't keep talking about that after back to back seasons like we had.
