A hall of fame coach if for no other reason this quote, "The NCAA is so mad at Kentucky, it's going to give Cleveland State two more years' probation."

That was a classic.
Man did that guy have some great teams back in the 80's and early 90's.

The 90-91 team up until they lost to Duke I think was probably the greatest team in the history of college basketball. 3 players were taken in the first 12 picks of the NBA draft. They didn't just beat teams that year, they crushed them. To Duke's credit that was one of the biggest upsets in college hoops history.
That 91 Duke team was a little better than most of us realized that year, Duke had Grant Hill, Christian Laettner, and Bobby Hurley all 3 future NBA players. However, I'd lost a lot of money on that game if I was a betting man, UNLV was on a 45 game win streak and everyone knew they were going to win it all
until they didn't.
