Thank you, seriously, thank you. From a former college basketball player brought up in a Bobby Knight system, I can appreciate the way you coach. When the players buy in and you've got the right guys, anybody is beatable. That Final 4 team was no fluke. They were talented, you had all the pieces and they gelled at the perfect time. then tenacity on defense and that harder than a coffin nail attitude you beat into them was something to see. Its rare you put the pieces together and you catch lighting in a bottle at the right time like that.

But the game has changed and the recruiting def has. You and Coach Huggins are the last of dying breed. And I hope you keep coaching, there are kids out there like me that needed that Father Figure to get in their face when they deserved it and speak a language they understood. In a world of soft panty wastes, coaches like you produce grow arse men.

But why does Coach Huggins keep winning basketball games and field top ranked teams?
Frank sucks.

Says a lot that he brought the most consistent "success" to South Carolina in decades.

South Carolina is an incredibly difficult job.

Yeah I just don't buy into the "Frank builds tough men" thing. Then again I guess guys would have to stay here long enough to grow. Just because you yell and scream doesnt mean youre growing men any better than the guy who doesnt.

The lack of development and discipline bothers me. When you watch his teams play, youd expect this strict disciplinarian to have a team that plays like it. Instead they are the sloppiest offensive group year in and year out. They dont make their free throws at a high clip, and perimeter defense is usually an issue. Yet we every year hear that this is "franks best offensive team" from the man himself. He usually fails to take any personal responsibility for losses, instead blaming it on the players themselves.

I get why Frank has this following of fans, as he symbolizes a blast from the past of tough coaches. The game has grown and moved on. So should we
