Who would of thought that after 7 years of WOJO, and BB seasons that seemed to go nowhere except down, that MU wold now be part of the national conversation. What Coach Smart - and I use that with complete reverence - has done is way beyond my expectations, and anyone else's for that matter. With the exception of J-Lew, Elliott, and OSO, he's taken so many new players and molded them into a TEAM that are fun to watch, and scaring the crap out of everyone that will play MU (who beats NOVA twice in the same year in the BE?). He's the perfect example of just how important a BB coach is, and that WOJO could never do what Coach Smart is doing...just completely different levels of coaching knowledge, player evaluation and assessment, in-game decisions, and accountability. Picked to finish 9th in the BE, he should be coach of the year in the BE and be in the national conversation for coach of the year. And, it's never about him, always the TEAM. Easily could have beaten the Friars, and can beat the Huskies on the road, and do hope they kick arrogant Dan Hurley's BUTT. Love what he's doing, and MU should get out the contract extension papers ASAP!
