A few years ago we cracked the Elite Eight...to the astonishment of everyone. It was great...thrilling. And we made it back in each of the next three years...but we accomplished less each successive year.
Coaches matter a great deal. But the game is about talented players. Why can't we recruit talent at the level of the three other schools being discussed? Are they more willing to bend the academic rules than Dayton? How about the character of the players they are willing to take? I know Ted Kissell has an opinion about that. I've discussed it with him.

I’d love to hear the explanation by Kissel.
The standard excuses are:
1. Too much top competition nearby; UC, Ohio State, Louisville, Indiana, Etc. (That did not bother x or But,et)
2. Lack of TV exposure.
