It takes a special kind of guy to troll everyone, including his entire fan base, all season

He has said he made some kind of adjustment. He was saying that before the SEC tournament and he apparently wasn't bluffing.

Anyone that says he is an average coach or is overrated is a fricking moron and should cease giving their opinion on basketball.

He has NBA level talent that are all freshmen. They hit crunch time and grew up. There's a reason they were highly ranked to start the season. It's the same reason SMU will start next year in the top 15.

He's been to the Final 4 several other times. I'd say this is his 4th or 5th right now.

UMass, the first final 4 UK team, the national championship UK team and maybe the Memphis Final 4 team are ahead right now.

That doesn't just happen without a great coach to show them how to win.

I know, but it took alot to get this team to peak at the right time. That UMass team was ranked no.1 alot of that season as I recall and had beaten Kentucky at the beginning of the year. The Memphis team was rolling high all season as well. The other Kentucky teams speak for themselves. I mean, this team lost the South Carolina and Arkansas twice.

Exactly. Any LSU fan should know this - Dale Brown was the master of making talent underachieve and ragtag teams play their hearts out.

True. I honestly want to know what he tweaked. The team has been drastically different since "the tweak"

I'm never going to argue that he is a bad, or even JUST a good coach.

But there are better coaches out there. He is playing with a stacked deck, and winning.

I think a good equivalent of Cal would be Tom Izzo.

That was a serious tweak. I don't even recognize this team from the regular season. They are playing just as well anyone else going to the Final Four.
