Shows What I Know

Over the last few weeks I've had multiple conversations with fellow basketball fans about Wake Forest's young and very talented basketball team.  My take was that they were a good team, but they're young and I didn't think they'd played the kind of schedule that merited their high ranking.  When North Carolina lost to Boston College I figured that was their wake up call and they'd come into the Joel with a chip on their shoulders and beat the Deacs in a hard fought game with about a 10 point margin.  Although I thought that Wake Forest's win at BYU was a great win, and a big deal for a young team, I also thought that UNC would be the first real test for them and that their youth would betray them.  Happily I'm eating my words.

    There are at least three stages in every sports program’s development. Probably a good business analogy as well.
    Step 1. Learning how to compete.
    Step 2. Learning how to win.
    Step 3. Learning how to handle winning. In some ways this is the most difficult step.
    The ACC schedule has just started and it will be interesting to see how WF handles the next 60 or so days.
