flaws.

To oversimplify it, when he did manage to get elite talent, he didn’t coach them as well as when he got lesser talent.

Lack of performance is March is unacceptable. Fans could perhaps look past the Final Four thing if there hadn’t been so many first or second round failures.

In the last 50 years, yes you have to rank him the best at MU.
But it can be argued that Quin is on track to have a bigger career.
