RE: Was Coach Finch Best Recruiting Coach?
I always thought Finch to be a very good recruiter & floor coach. Unfortunately health conditions robbed him of a lot of his steam. Had he maintained good health, I think he would have coached as long as he wanted & it would have resulted in a record that would never be matched at our university. I remember, having been there, how Memphis completely dismantled the field in the Cotton States Classic in Atlanta & the then GA coach, High Durham, expressed later that Memphis had the best team in the country. Unfortunately Finch had inherited & recruited some players that resulted in probation. I use this example to show how effective his floor coaching was - and for which Finch gets little credit.
