[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 950852, member: 7261"] No doubt in my mind that Gard will be Big10 coach of the year (2nd time in 3 years). National coach of the year, he is in the conversation for sure. As far as your assessment, Gard is the one that recruited all these players, that have the Badgers currently ranked 10th in the country. Not sure how you don't give a coach credit for a team that was predicted to be at the bottom of the Big 10 and is now in the conversation as a potential #1 seed in the Big Dance. Davis is an awesome player, but he isn't carrying this team solely on his back. Also, how do you think Davis has gone from 3 Star recruit, ranked 164th coming out of H.S. to the player he is today? Davis definitely has worked hard to reach the level he is playing at, but Gard quickly saw the change in Davis's game this year and made him the focal point of the offense. Does Gard land the top recruits? No, but neither did all the Badger coaches before him. However, what he does do, is develops players and coaches them to be much better collectively, than they are individually. Finally, do you think other Big10 teams or for that matter, any of the top 20 teams, don't have really good players? Does this diminish what the coach is doing for those teams? [/QUOTE]
