In response to palestra38
I do not buy into the idea that "he won a national championship". He was an assistant coach. If the celtics win the championship this year, god I hope not, Jerome didn't win an NBA championship. I don't want to hear anything about what he did or didn't do at Connecticut because we don't know.
He inherited a team that I could have coached to a championship at Penn (Steve, I mean no disrespect, I would just have let you run things). He got the championship. It is telling that he still didn't have much time and that's not because of the alumni but because of who he was. He recruited the guts of an almost ivy champion i guess sounds better than he recruited a team that peaked at KenPom 139 2 years after they were out of his tyranny. And injury riddled is one way to put it, another way is that if Tyler wasn't a senior the same year that Zach was, maybe they don't put it together to be as good.
This is absurd, I can't believe we're having this discussion. He was terrible.
