I gave him an A and here is why:
I am not a wins and losses guy. You can play incredible defense on someone, but you cannot prevent him from making a backward 35 footer over his head. You can be in position for every rebound, but you cannot prevent the ball from taking a crazy bounce. You can make the extra pass and find the open man, but you cannot make the shot go in every time. If you do these things, you'll probably win more often than not, but no matter how good you play, you can't keep the other team from playing better.
This is where I think Dayton is, they do most of these things very good most of the time. 2 years ago it resulted in many close victories, and last year there were many times the open shots didn't fall, and opponents made spectacular shots.
When I also take into account the graduation rate and the type fo gentlemen he recruits, I come up with an A, but I can understand the High C's and B's, everyone is entitled to an opinion.
Now could someone please explain the D just so I can try to understand it?
