Izzo Pt 2

Interesting that college basketball rewards reputations for making the F4. They've created a situation where 3 additonal teams & coaches walk away from the season feeling like they've won something. Think about it. Marv Levy is mostly known for being a 4-time loser in the super bowl. But Tom Izzo is now 1-5 in pursuing a championship, but instead of calling him a loser, he gets credit for going to 6 F4's. Bob Stoops has become a national symbol for losing big games, but if he was a basketball coach he would be getting his due for reaching the final round, rather than being ridiculed for not cashing in. Totally unfair.
