So I was thinking about something and it seems to me that careers are going to be made and busted on the smallest of margins in this new world of transfers and whatnot, even MUCH moreso than before.
Consider this scenario:
Ohio State and Michigan with their new coaches Diebler and May each make the tournament and have a very close game in the second round. One wins and one loses the type of game that could go either way and is decided on a buzzer-beater or somesuch. The team that wins also manages to win their S16 and E8 games to make a F4 appearance.
One coach now has a F4 at his new school, the other has only a "tournament appearance".
In the old days (ya know, like a few weeks ago) that would be a difference but it wouldn't be THAT big because the younger players on the teams wouldn't have to be re-recruited. Now . . .
