Former UM coach Blaine Taylor got some love as an underrated coach from a poll of coaches around the country, but the quote from a coach was, umm, less than complimentary. Or complimentary depending on your views...
Quotes that stuck:
On Fran Dunphy: "His teams always win. They are just like him. Quiet, unassuming. He's a good guy and just wins."
On Randy Bennett: "Have you ever been to that gym? It's a sandbox. Bennett has done it differently, he's established an overseas pipeline and been able to sustain success in a league with Gonzaga. That's not easy."
On Buzz Williams: "He's been there, what, four years? He's never had a bad team even though all his teams have been different because of graduation and injuries. He rubs some people the wrong way, but he knows what he's doing. He's really good."
On Huggins: "To me, he's a f------ genius with his teams. Think about it. He's in the tournament every single year."
On Calipari: "Sure, he always has talent. But he deserves some credit for being able to manage that talent. He may not be one of the elite game-coaches in the country, but when it comes to pushing the right buttons and recruiting, there aren't many better."
On Blaine Taylor (who received one vote): "It's all about his look. That's what holds him back. If he didn't have the bad hair-dye or look like Ron Jeremy, I think he could get a better job."
