Message: [QUOTE="Quazzum69, post: 569121, member: 2653"] So anyone could do it at a blue blood program then? There's a reason the best coaches are coaching the best programs - they're the best coaches! The cream rises to the top, my friend. If you are one of the best 5 coaches in the country, you either turn your program into elite (Coach K at Duke, Calhoun at UConn, to some exent Boeheim at Syracuse) or you get hired at a school where it's already been done and you're just continuing the tradition (Bill Self, Roy Williams, John Calipari). Syracuse and Boeheim are absolutely top-ten in the past few decades. On the grand scheme of things, it's remarkable what he's achieved. But when you're talking about top-five "elite" schools and coaches, I don't think he makes the cut and that's ok. I don't lose any sleep at night. [/QUOTE]
