Calipari just send kids into the NBA after a year of ball. Izzo has to compete with Michigan for recruits every year, and while Coach K turns very good players into better players, Izzo turns above average players into animals come March. Making the claim that Coach K is the best ever is like saying Calipari is a good coach...which is just ridiculous. Calipari is a douche who recruits well, but can't coach for shit.
