although I love your optimism I think that I could put together a team of Lukas, The Giant, Stu, Gentry, and an untrained monkey and beat the Hoosiers right now...it is sad.

Don't forget Shaffner, unless he is the "untrained monkey." Also, I think Shepley would be a suitable coach, despite the fact that he once got 2 Ts and kicked out of the gym during a Red Army game. He wasn't even on the team.
