[QUOTE="WyattEarp, post: 1733266, member: 748573"] Sure, if you’ve got a track record of success you certainly would be confident in those abilities. But rebuilds ARE tremendously difficult. Each one with its own unique circumstances…demanding fan bases, a plethora of unforeseen events, recruiting misfires, potential misc. issues with administration, navigating the intricacies of school politics, various unrealistic expectations from all sides…etc. Quite a few rebuilds just don’t work out. These guys have some idea what they’re getting into…but you’re still talking about a lot of variables that are out of your control. And remember you’re leaving a job where you were already paid extremely well…Crean was the one of the wealthiest coaches back then…They called Hoiberg the Governor…now they call him a bum. Lol…Let’s just say they didn’t have to worry about job security back then. Maybe it’s just me but that outta be worth something. The devil you know argument…I guess. I don’t know if it’s necessarily easier to coach in the pros as it is college… There are hurdles to overcome in both cases… It seems like for every John Beilein or Rick Pitino failing in the pros there’s a Patrick Ewing or Avery Johnson failing in college… [/QUOTE]
