Sucks that Capel backed out, but Floyd knows how to recruit like a mofo. The only real qualm I had about him was the boring style of play.
I think the Capel thing is good for both parties.

I think it would be a very bad idea for Capel to take the Arizona job. Right now, he has a stable program at Oklahoma with good players/recruits. And he's all but assured Coach K's job when he retires. Trying to rebuild at Arizona puts him at risk of failing in the years just before he gets the plum job of his life. I think he'd be a fool to go anywhere except Duke.

And given all of that, I am OK with him not coming to Arizona. I don't want to go through this again in 5 years.
