Should he have a statue? I'm not sure, but calling him a failure for not making a final four is ridiculous. I think naming the court after him makes sense, but I do agree that statues should be reserved for coaches in a truly elite class like Coach K, Bob Knight, or for Florida Billy Donovan.

Please explain why this message is being reported.
