So why wouldn't you want to be the guy who brought a championship to BYU?Your post gave one very compelling reason why a player would choose Duke over BYU. National Championships. Coach K has won a few. Coach Rose hasn't won a CONFERENCE tournament. From a basketball standpoint, there is no comparison.Then we need to change the sales pitch. Coach K has underachieved as many times as he has won a NC. There is no reason he should be able to steal Mormon recruits from BYU.Why can Duke swoop in at the last second and take a recruit like him when he could do just as good (or better in this case this year) at BYU?
Most famous college hoops coach: "Want to be a national name in college and then go to the NBA?"
The coach no one knows of outside of the WCC: "Ever heard of Brandon Davies?"

Davies even getting a couple of NBA seasons at all is well beyond what anyone could reasonably expect. The other two have major issues as far as the NBA is concerned that a different coach wouldn't have been able to fix into NBA talent. To insinuate otherwise I think is silly. There is a reason those guys weren't recruited by Duke.It's apparently obvious from my post that I think FJ is and always has been the suckiest sucker who ever sucked until Coach K put his miracle hands on him and cried for the demons to exit. If he would have come to BYU he probably would be our backup sweat-mopper under the East hoop (not good enough to backup mop sweat in front of the ROC). Thanks for totally mischaracterizing what I said (that FJ would not necessarily be as good a player at BYU under Rose as he was at Duke under Krzyzewski) into something laughable. You defeated that straw man with gusto.Do you really think he would have sucked?Some of you seem to be operating under the assumption that Frank Jackson would have been just as good at BYU as he was this year at Duke.
Do you really think Coach Rose would have been able to coach him up to the same level as Krzyzewski? If so, you're up in the night.
What player have we seen Dave Rose coach up to NBA standards? Jimmer Fredette? Brandon Davies? Kyle Collinsworth?
I'd like to know what your basis is for thinking Coach K and Coach Rose are equals when it comes to player development, cuz I don't see a lot of it going on.
