I actually think he is underrated as a coach. That Wall/Cousins team sucked at first. Almost lost to Miami-Ohio in the opener. And they made the Elite 8. The Knight/Liggins team also made big improvements by the end of the year.

Of course, there are two things to consider. A) This year's team does not have Wall or Cousins or Bledsoe.

B) In-game, he can have huge brain farts. He did not adjust strategies at all against Huggins in 2010, and i am forever thankful for that because they would have beaten our 2010 team without a doubt.

In his defense vs. West Virginia with that group we didn't have that shooter we had with Lamb last season. Meeks was supposed to fill that role but couldn't convince him to suit up under his third coach in almost as many seasons. I truly believe had we had that we would've made a NC run. As talented as that team was it was incomplete IMO.

But I can agree with that assessment. I know you hate him but appreciate the fair assessment.

Thank you. He isn't perfect, no one is. If people can't see that his teams get better, I can't help them.

Idk about that, Scheyer, Singler and Smith were a special group. Plus the WVU team that beat UK got their asses handed to them by that 2010 Duke squad
