I think the tournament was one more nail in the coffin of the approach to basketball that says you put the best athletes out there and cope with the rawness of that. We are no longer in the Jordan E. This is the Curry Era. IMO that's great news. It will be interesting to see if guys like Coach K, who can actually teach the game, back off the one-and-done model that forces them to field unbalanced lineups or those too green to run the system that works best these days, but requires guys to spend some time learning it by doing it. I don't know that Self or Cal can, but at least in college there's a sweet spot between Loyola and Kentucky, and if you can find it, and adjust in-game, you'll have a team every bit as good if not better than the ones with elite-player roster churn. Jay Wright found it and lives there. Beilein did too, but has to win a ring. He has to build on this.
And, fuck talent and his trolling. Sure does sound like sour grapes to me. Michigan blew up into an elite team and there was one team better. Soon enough there will be a year where there are no teams better.
