the 'built ___ program from scratch' is way over used on this board, but if any SEC coach in the last 50 yrs 'built a program from scratch' it was Rob Evans and Ole Miss basketball.
Lets face it to take what at best had been a 'mediocre at best' program and I know about Johnny Neumann and Weltlich's '81 team, but to take that team to back to back NCAA's and win West titles in a short time was just incredible.

If you listen to the players, they love Evans. They have a lot of respect for him. The players have said the biggest problem is that Pel wouldn't let Evans do anything. Evans was the most accomplished coach on that staff, but was basically told to keep his mouth shut.
We would have been a lot more successful IMO if Evans would have had more say so in how things were run.
Nolan Richardson once said that Rob Evans is the only coach that he ever feared.
