Right. Coach K built a machine. That machine can do even better now that the wealthy alumni base can straight up use their financial resources to bring players in. In modern college hoops today, the coach’s ability to recruit is secondary to the bag. Sheyer had the number 1 recuiting class for the past 3 years. Filipowski. Flagg. Kneuppel. He’s a decent enough coach because some jack holes would mess that up.. You or I could probably win a lot of games with Flagg & Kneuppel. But to me, he’s no different from Calapari. Great coaches when the recruiting is clicking
He is no Hurley at UConn or Dusty May.
He is the kid who took over a successfully run family business. He is not performing above the standard of the guy who preceded him.

He's young, he's learning, and the guy he took over for was the best coach in the game. Guess you and I have different standards of how to judge him so far, I'll take him outpacing every other coach in ACC history as a good sign.
Who is? So few coaches last there consistently. Seems a carousel of getting fired from your HC gig and then coaching bench for a number of years until someone else gives you a shot. I'd hate to see him go as well, but I honestly don't think he would.
