What makes the difference between a good coach and a bad coach? Is it motivation? Is it recruiting? Is it the ability to make in-game adjustments? It’s probably a little bit of everything wrapped into one. But, sometimes it’s just luck.

But unlike Joker Phillips, who went just 3-6 in games decided by 7 points or less, Mark Stoops has excelled in those games, especially over the last 3 seasons.
