When Coach K wins US a gold medal in basketball....
does that mean he'll be the best coach in the history of college basketball?

The olympics has nothing to do with college basketball.I'd just call him the best coach in the world.

yeah, it takes a "great" coach to win with the best players in the world
:roll:
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

If I were coach K i'd wear my gold medal for all the games I coach until the US wins another gold medal.
If it were so easy to win with the best players in the world.. wouldn't the US have more gold medals?

yeah, he's a legendary failure

But can't anyone coach the best players in the world to a gold medal????
If I cared about my credibility in respect to retired dicks I'd work on that.

lots of coaches have failed to win with the best players, 'sup, bellicheat?
let's see what happens
k has failed with better players in the past
if he wins, so what?
he has the best team with which to work
if he loses, just another coach of an underachieving team

True except I don't remember a team where K lost with better players and Bellicheat is far from the greatest coach ever.

Larry Brown, only coach to win a title at the college and pro level. I'd say he's a legend.

You really think Larry had a better squad than this year? I don't. Wade, Lebron, and Carmelo were all rookies. No Chris Paul or Derron Williams. I think I read where 10 of its 12 players elected, did not want to participate.
Here's 2004:
I'd say this year's team makes 2004 look like the Charlotte Bobcats.

The mark of a great olympic coach is getting all those ego's on the same page which some great coaches in the past could not, John Thompson in 88', Larry Brown.So lets just come together and agree that K is the greatest coach in international and college basketball.
