Message: [QUOTE="Madbiker, post: 1663472, member: 312"] JB's system works and has produced a great record over a long period of time. If you've followed the program over a long time, you can see that there are defined roles in the system and the players change but they are recruited to fill those roles. JB likes wiry, agile players over beefy physical players. So physical teams like Pitt, UVa, and Georgetown always push our guys around. When JB has the ultra high talent level guys -- like Coleman, Seikaly, Douglas, Wallace, Carmelo, Warrick, Wes Johnson, Waiters, MCW, etc. he has outstanding teams. With ordinary talent (like this year) it doesn't work so well. For whatever reason we are getting fewer and fewer of those ultra talent guys. Maybe JB just doesn't go out and recruit like he used to. Maybe other reasons. But missing the tourney consecutive years is bad and there's a pretty good chance it happens. [/QUOTE]
