NCAA Inconsistencies continue

I totally agree with that statement that all programs cheat. It's just that when your caught you seem like the only one. Too much money and pride at stake in college bball.
Hey I wonder will we ever see a woman coaching mens ball??? I think it would work and summit has the demeanor.

I doubt you will ever see it. Pat certainly would have been successful, especially several years ago, when she was a bit younger. She still has the fire but it has dwindled a bit. You hear of the best lb. per lb. fighter, if you had the best gender vs. gender coach in college basketball, my bet is John Wooden, Coach K and Pat Summit would be the only 3 in the discussion. Summit has somewhere around 9 National Titles, almost 1100 victories, never a losing season, I don't remember any recruiting violations or other NCAA infractions and flat out a Class Act. I saw a list somewhere a while back where they ranked the top coaches of all time, all sports, professional and amateur and she was just outside the top 10 and the only woman on the list. If there is/was a woman to coach a mens college basketball program, then she is it. If she failed at it then you might as well consider this experiment dead and not to be revisited.

Speaking of John Wooden: I was not old enough to remember the 12 year run he had when he won all of his titles so I did some research. Overall 27 year coaching record at UCLA, 620-147, he goes 335-22 during the 12 stretch with 10 titles, this leaves him 285-125 or around .700 winning percentage for the first 15 years of his career, good coach but certainly not the best coach EVER in any sport by all means the first 15 years. No titles in 15 years and then when Kareem, Walton, Gail Goodrich, Henry Bibby, Jamaal Wilkes, and such come along back to back to back you get a dynasty for 12 years. Pat Summit has 8 titles over a 21 year stretch and with UCONN emerging the past 10 years, is going head and head with the current Dynasty in Lady's basketball. Wooden did not have any "UCONN Women's Team Dynasty or such" to battle during the 12 stretch. Just my opinion, but I have always thought John Wooden was a bit over-rated as an ALL TIME coaching great. Absolutely GREAT for that 12 years but before that just average.
