Greatest coach in the history of the game.

FWIW if we're talking college I'd take K or Wooden over bobby. K's work with the olympic team puts him on top IMO.

Very happy. I was getting tired of picking up the newspaper and reading about WF basketball in the police reports instead of the sports section.
The sad truth is that more than a few people on here would sacrifice a tournament appearance this year in order to get rid of Bzz.
And while Coach K's numbers are better, you have to remember one thing: There wouldn't even have been a Coach K if not for Bob Knight. Knight coached him at Army, prepped him as a coach....and got him the job at Duke with his recommendation to Duke AD Tom Butters.
K does it without choking his players or getting in trouble with puerto rican cops, etc., etc. Bob Knight was fired from his job for conduct unbecoming a basketball coach.
Sometimes its about more than wins and losses.

Luckily nobody will ever have to make that choice. Colorado fans certainly didn't and look at where their program is now.
You could make a pretty convincing argument that Colorado would be in a similar position with Bzz as they are with Boyle now given their trajectory when he left.
So make it.
Just look at the difference in their KenPom numbers between 2010 and 2011. 2010: Offense: 111.4 (29) Defense: 103.4 (213), 2011: Offense: 116.0 (9) Defense: 103.1 (199)
They jumped from 88 to 52 between those two seasons, but they also brought back nine of their top ten guys and added Andre Roberson, who now plays for the Thunder.
They also got a different coach.
Which apparently, according to some, is enough to change an entire programs imaginary culture problems
We've jumped 57 spots since last year in a similar situation. Colorado made the NCAA Tournament in 2012 with the same KenPom ranking. Granted, they got in because they won their conference tournament, but still.
in what world is Wake's situation similar to Colorado's?
At Colorado [Redacted] took over a shitty program coming off it's worst season ever. He then "led" it through one of the worst three year stretches in that program's already pretty bad history. A new coach took over and has led them to probably their best 4 year stretch in program history.
At Wake [Redacted] took over a top 25 program coming off an average season. He then "led" it through the worst three year stretch in program history. In fact it was even worse than the stretch he had at Colorado.
And we are supposed to be excited because he has brought us back to a level just below what is considered historically mediocre for our program? Or because the new coach at the program he left behind has brought that program to a level that would be considered about average for our program?

Not a very convincing argument.
Your insistent defense of Buzz is admirable, but seriously?Just look at the difference in their KenPom numbers between 2010 and 2011. 2010: Offense: 111.4 (29) Defense: 103.4 (213), 2011: Offense: 116.0 (9) Defense: 103.1 (199)
