Reminds me of a story that Jim Valvano used to tell about when he got the NC State job and went to get a haircut. The barber asks him if he's the new basketball coach? He says he is , to which the barber replies "I hope you do better than ole Born did (Norm Sloan the previous coach)", Valvano replies "didn't his 1974 team go 30-1, win the ACC regular season, the ACC tournament, and the National Championship?"...the barber replies, "yeah , but think what Dean Smith could have done with that team"

I'll defer to the basketball coach that FLPACKER is, but I always thought Dean Smith was the most overrated coach in history. Great recruiter, but I always thought the quote that "Dean Smith was the only guy who could hold Michael Jordan under 20" was very accurate.
