JFC, what a reerun. The arrogance of people who think "it's the program, not the coach" is astounding.
How well did North Carolina do when Matt Doherty was the head coach?
How well did Kentucky do when Billy Gillespe was the head coach?
How well did UCLA do when Walt Hazzard was the head coach?
How well did Duke do when Bucky Waters, Neil McGeachy and Bill Foster were the head coaches in the 1970s?
Do you really think KU has a better program than North Carolina, Kentucky, UCLA, and Duke?
Being at a perennial powerhouse certainly helps win games and it certainly makes recruiting easier. But it's not THE PROGRAM at any of those schools. It's the program AND the right coach. And Bill Self is a helluva coach. Anybody who doesn't understand that is a moron.
