With the statement of Calipari your right. again not im not at all comparing Duke and Byu Basketball. There isn't a comparison. I was just stating that assistant coaches make and break a team. That assistants need to develop their group to get to the next level. and that bronco's assistance are not capable of creating an NFL culture. Bronco Developed ziggy and van noy. However since then you dont have a stand out assistant that can develop a NFL talent. This is what BYU is missing. Like I said Bronco is to blame on that part of it all. Whittingham's coaches can develop talent so why cant BYU.
As for your michigan st. question yes he is one of the more successful coaches with the help of his assistance.
