You have to look not just at what Beard has done, but how he's done it. It's not like he's lucked out and got an easy bracket- or was able to play in a bracket where the top seeds got knocked out early. And, while he's had talent, not much of it was highly regarded on signing day. And he did it so quickly. There's definitely huge upside for him at Tech.
He's already attracting better talent than what got him to the title game-he will get even more after the last two seasons. It's not out of the question that we pretty much make the NCAAs every year Beard is at Tech.
Ok sure. If you just don't look at statistics and history, you're right. Good luck with that.
Yeah, making the NCAAs every single year is a tall task. Only 4 schools accomplished it over the past 10 years and only a handful more made it 9 of 10 years:
10 Duke
10 Gonzaga
10 Kansas
10 Michigan State
9 Cincinnati
9 Kentucky
9 North Carolina
9 Villanova
9 Wisconsin
8 Florida
8 Kansas State
8 Louisville
8 Michigan
8 Ohio State
8 Purdue
8 Syracuse
8 VCU
8 Xavier
7 Arizona
7 Butler
7 Baylor
7 Iowa State
7 Notre Dame
7 Texas
7 Virginia
7 West Virginia
7 Wichita State
The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. To the naive mind that can conceive of order only as the product of deliberate arrangement, it may seem absurd that in complex conditions order, and adaptation to the unknown, can be achieved more effectively by decentralizing decisions and that a division of authority will actually extend the possibility of overall order.
