Here's the thing about the "good coaching" What's defined here in Memphis as good coaching really isn't good coaching. Good coaches don't always win but they compete every season with the talent they've developed. When you go and watch games of schools here in Memphis offenses aren't run 75% of the time, defenses aren't played correctly at all, people want to set up in a zone and then let the bad offensive bail them out.
Night in and night out there is more talent on the floor in Memphis than 3/4 of the rest of the country. But the basketball being played in the Pacific Northwest, rural Kentucky, rural Indiana, and other places put the quality to shame.
