Lot of years went by for Rollinson without Championships until MD decided to double down on recruiting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elKakador Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 How do you measure greatness -- simply by wins? I think a coach who takes average talent and has winning teams every year is much better then one who recruits a local all-star team and wins with that talent. People seem to forget that John Wooden coached at UCLA for 26 years. He didn't win a national title until his 15th year there. Why? One simple reason: he started recruiting nationally (NYC, Philly and DC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD and select few of others are basically playing by different rules! If not DLS would still be winning state with 2-way players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
