I would argue that he coached that “loaded” roster to a 30-5 Elite 8- many coaches have screwed up talent like that. Did he recruit them? No. Did he have the ability to recognize Lohaus wasn’t a back to the basket post and move him outside where he could use his perimeter shooting skills? Yes. Let Horton do the dirty work inside where he was more suited. Also took Gamble from the 4 and made him a shooting guard to great success. Both Gamble and Lohaus owe solid NBA careers to TD being able to figure out what George couldn’t.
As others have mentioned, the Big 10 was great in the ‘80’s/‘90’s- it’s a shell of that now.
Fran’s inability to figure out the portal demonstrates he recruits like it’s 1994.
And Davis had some class- Fran is a moron. He would coach circles around Franny.
