What coach is Dabo most similar to?

Going with Jim Valvano because of enthusiasm and likability.

There’s really no question. Pick any sports pro or college.

It’s funny that this came up today. I was just reading a story about Seton Hall basketball regarding their 1989 run to the NCAA championship game and was thinking their coach PJ Carlesimo had a lot of similarities to Dabo. From insisting on more money for assistant coaches to putting the emphasis on education and building quality student and not just athletes, and long lasting relationships.

Here is the link. It is very long, but very well written and interesting.

To me, there is no coach similar to Dabo! I realized a few years ago that, though I love for Clemson to win, I am happier for Dabo when Clemson wins than I am!!!

Jimmy V was a darn yankee... and while cleared by the NCAA, I still think he was a bit crooked.


This is going to sound crazy....


Spurrier.

The game, process, and theater is just "fun" for both of these guys. Evey "work" day is a day at the amusement park. Both believe in having the player make the plays and you just have to set them up to be successful. Both live up-front and show their excitement.They both create some fun soundbites.

A couple of similarities but.... NO.***

Yeah, similar not the same.

However, Dabo isn't the prototypical coach and neither is Spurrier.

Maybe Coach Taylor (of the Dillon Panthers)?

If you have to pick someone- I’m going with John Wooden

Great coach, but better man.

Had priorities and loved the players first... then handled business.
