Alabama destroyed them. Warlick has wasted so much talent. Why highly rated recruits continue to go is a mystery. They have a bunch of great athletes but there is no hint of player development or any resemblance of team basketball.

Your second and third sentences...

Could apply to certain ND football coaches.
If she had just acted like the "interim coach"

She probably would go down as a good loyal soldier type. Basically have her stay just a few years (3-4) so that the next "real" head coach wouldn't have to follow Summitt directly and have to deal with those comparisons.

Instead, she's thinking that she's good enough to stay. She's recruiting well enough to win, but just doesn't have "it."

Of course, it could be that the old style of play by UT (recruit better athletes, play a tough defense and score in transition or off rebounds, forgetting having much of a half court offense) might have seen its day in the sport now, with greater talent parity.
