The thread stated IF you wanted to go to the final four.....which coach would you take? In 30 years Coach K has 3 National Titles and now will be appearing in his 11th Final Four which I think is second all time. Seven of the final four trips Duke played in the national championship game. He also has NCAA record 80 NCAA tourny wins. In 15 years Coach Izzo has 1 national Title and 6 Final fours which MSU played in the national title game 2 times. Both are great coaches and have shown the ability to lead their teams deep in the NCAA's over the long haul not just here and there. There is no way you can discredit what Coach K has done at Duke, it doesn't matter what seed you beat. A team can only play teams in there path to the final four. If KState had beat Butler would that have lessened their trip to the final four because Butler is a 5 seed or what about Mich State beating a 6 seed to go. Does that mean WVU's win over 1 seed UK mean more than Duke beating a 3 seed? You have to win the games in your path to the cahmpionship game and the coach does not control that.

Thank you very much colonel. This is why I take coach K. Enough said Ville.
