I agree.  Looks like you can't trust anyone any more.  I guess the adage
should have been "if you can't be great, go to a second-rate conference."
I predict Carl will disappear into the ranks of the unknown coaches.

Check the stats.  Lefty has the second winningest percentage in the ACC.
No, he doesn't win the big ones often, but he produces consistantly good
teams.  Sure, he's a good recruiter, but as you guys at Virginia should
know better than anyone else -- having the franchise players is not a 
guarantee of greatness.  You got to be able to build a team as well.

Watch carefully.  Lefty's boys, despite their reputations as hotdogs, do
lots of little things like blocking out and setting screens very well.
Those things don't come naturally, they have to be coached in.
