How about Bob Smizik (Or Snide-Zik) before he wrote the article about Dave Roddy - teams seemed to be pretty solid every year -  after that the Mike Rice Era was the only time they could put together some solid seasons back-to-back.   Rice was the beneficiary of having Bruce Atkins, Doug Arnold (for one year) Ricky Tunstall (for one year) and Bill Clarke (for one year) -  In recent years how many bigs like that have been from this area?

And does anyone else remember "Dr" Bill Clarke going through the warm-ups in a white lab coat covering green scrubs ???   Wonder how many coaches BACK THEN would have let a player do something like THAT?????
