Coach K's obviously the best...maybe of all-time, but he also gets national recruits vs regional recruits that Izzo gets. If you switched coaches

for both teams, keeping talent the same, maybe coach K squeaks out another W or 2--but, it's a testament to Izzo that he's gone to as many final 4s, as he has in such a short time (7 in 18 years--there's just a handful a guys who have gone to 7, ever..much less 7 in that time span). Just a great coach--if he ever goes to a powerhouse basketball factory...like Duke, or Kansas, or North Carolina, or Kentucky he'd just win, non-stop.

I don't buy that Coach K's won 11 out of 12 games based solely on talent. -- nm - David Nov 15, 02:21 3
- I don't either but he's right in that Izzo tends to get more local guys than national players. Not sure why considering their success over the years. -- nm* - Krusty Nov 15, 06:06 2
  - They still have the preseason Player of the Year. Duke didn't win because of crushing talent yesterday. - David Nov 15, 06:25 1
    - I agree with everything you said and it's why I think Izzo is the best coach in college ball. - Krusty Nov 15, 06:28
