Many of those McDonald's All-Americans are high school stars who aren't athletic enough to be great college players. I wouldn't get too excited about Chris Collins, for example. Still, I agree that Coach K has more talent than people say. The 1991 team that was such a huge underdog to UNLV actually had more college and NBA talent than UNLV.

Tony Larussa is a great manager, not for the results he got at Oakland but for how he manages. A better example of what you are trying to say is Bobby Cox, who couldn't manage his way out of a paper bag (whatever that means <g>).

Lazar,
RE:"it should be noted duke currently has 7 McDonald's all
americans. UCONN in their history has had 3 (marhall,
el-amin,hamilton)."...

Yes, we totally agree. Duke is loaded and they are BIG, mature looking players. I could coach them to a championship. I'd love to see them get knocked off though.
UConn could get to the final four but only because of the luck of the draw. They are't that good, IMHO. Sorry.

Jim
