With five seniors graduating, many critics expected an immediate decline in Duke's basketball winnings, but Krzyzewski's 1987 Devils won 24 games and made it to the Sweet 16, losing to Indiana, who went on to win the national championship. From 1988 to 1992, he led his team to the Final Four, five consecutive seasons. UCLA's legendary John Wooden is the only other coach in the history of the tournament to accomplish such greatness. "Leadership is getting people to buy into something, making them feel vested in the whole decision-making process," said Grant Hill, an All-American who helped Duke to two national titles. "Coach K is remarkable at doing that."
Under the coaching of Weeb Ewbank, the 1969 New York Jets made their first, and last, Super Bowl appearance for the next 42 years (Freier, 20). During these years, the Jets have had promising plays, players and coaching staffs, but always ended in an unsuccessful Super Bowl attempt. Breaking down a season by players, plays and unfixable mistakes on the field can provide a reason for a team’s poor performance. The downfall of the 2011 New York Jets was an end result of the lack of teamwork and mismanagement in the coaching department. As a result of so many failed attempts, the blame has been heavily put onto the quarterback, Mark Sanchez.
There would be no rally for the second round, being swept by the Blackhawks. The impressive success continued to grow in 1993, hitting the 100 point mark for the first time in 41 years. The regular season accomplishments would not carry into the playoffs, and once again the Wings were defeated in seven games against the Maple Leafs. Following the season, the franchise would fire head coach Bryan Murray and bring in legendary Scotty Bowman. Bowman knew about playoff success, winning Stanley Cups with the Montréal Canadiens in 1973, 1976, 1977, 1978 and 1979, and with the Pittsburgh Penguins in 1992.
Especially for the past the two seasons, the Cavs were picked to at least get to the Finals. However, they fell short. Much of that responsibility has to be placed on their franchise player—LeBron. Although, it is easy to point the finger at the head coach, Mike Brown or the supporting cast, the fact is that the Cavs finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference the past two seasons—that doesn't happen with bad coaching and a poor supporting cast. At the end of the day, the best player is Kobe Bryant because he lead his team through the good and bad, and he helped lead the Lakers grab their 16th title against Boston.
All he said after this match was “A W is a W.” After this he was headed to St.Louis for the NCAA Championships. He wrestled his way to the final match against rival Wes Hand once again.
