Time will tell whether he becomes an all-time great or just a guy who got his team hot at the right time and to a Final Four once. Still, based upon what happened in the past Final Four, he will get mentioned for many big-time openings. I happen to like him more than you do.<br /><br />All that said, I should get some props for putting Sean Miller on my list (this without any prior glances at any other websites). He did well at Xavier and has done well early on at Arizona, so he could be a very good fit at Maryland.SportsProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15180630793608156519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7089867.post-28604440026683969422011-05-06T15:58:08.297-04:002011-05-06T15:58:08.297-04:00The fact that Shaka Smart is considered one of the...The fact that Shaka Smart is considered one of the best young coaches in America just goes to show how overvalued a single "hot streak" in the NCAA tournament is.<br /><br />I'm not saying that he's a poor coach by any means but VCU had a mediocre regular season, an uninspiring conference tournament and was a very controversial "last one off the bubble" at-large selection for the NCAA tournament. Let's give Smart credit, he took his Rams through a great five-game run to make the Final Four.<br /><br />But in the age of the three-point shot, it is absolutely true that any hot-shooting team can win on a given night. Doing that twice is hard and three times is harder still. But a five-game run, no matter how excellent, does not mean a coach is "great." It means his team shot very well, maybe even played great, for five games. That's all.<br /><br />Of all the names on your list, Smart is the one whom I most expect to recede back into obscurity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
