You aren't suggesting Brey doesn't have a sweet 16 appearance are you? He had one in '15 and '16. He has done more with less talent than just about anyone out there. He has won games with schemes ranging from a 3 point blitzkrieg, to a 4-1 attack the basket to the burn.
He has garnered a bunch of COY awards and been in the running for others. Unlike Digger, he is universally respected.
The blemish on his record is March prerformance. I have always explained it to myself because that is when his lack of athletes catches up with the team. He has basketball players traditionally but not athletes. Actually, that is what worries me a bit about this year. The only flat out athlete who is quicker and can jump higher packaged in a long body is Pflueger. Djogo might be one.
Ir should be noted that he has accomplished what he has bagged with the worst facilities by a major program in BB. Actually, they are the same facilities that Digger used 25 years ago. New ones are truly on the way and recruitting immediately improved. The last 6 guys to join the program are all top 100.
