He recruited at an ok level, but nowhere near elite. I mean is it those pointless division championships he won when 3 of the 6 teams in his division could not find their basketball arena? I just have never understood the admiration for a guy that never made it out of the first weekend.
People on these boards used to love spouting off stats about how Stans had something like the 4th or 5th most winning program in the SEC over some arbitrary period yet completely ignoring the fact that at the time it was something like 9 or 10 of the programs in the SEC had also reached the Sweet 16 or better. For some, those ridiculous SEC West banners were worth their weight in gold.
