Not playing Collins doesn't reflect on DM's big many coaching ability, it reflects on his overall coaching ability and decision making (we all saw his bizarre line up moves in game).
No matter how good Moore was, and I don't recall us all over Manning about playing Moore more at the time, but recall he was totally unable to stay on the floor for any amount of time due to his conditioning (need in a blow after a few times up and down the floor)
Dino came as a Euro big, he stood outside and jacked up 3's, DM converted him into an inside banger that could step outside. Sure Dino was the prototypical euro big and could have been a pro, but he left Wake with a post game and the ability to use his size inside. That's a pretty big change, how many euros do we see make that change, especially in college.
Let's say there are 100 things a college coach needs to do, DM did two of them fairly well, coaching up the bigs and then having the offense run through those bigs. The rest he pretty much sucked at, including recruiting top rated bigs that didn't need DM's magic big coaching.
