No team coached by Mike Davis can ever remotely be considered scary.
It's a stretch to call the strategical mishmash Davis purveys a "system."The irony is that MD is recruiting great talent but MA was the better coach. If somehow they could be combined, UAB would be formidable. As it stands, MD doesn't impress me other than his ability to get talent in the door.
I'd take the MA approach of scrapping out wins with a system and lesser talent than the MD approach of better talent but a less effective system.

Reread my post. I was talking about Mike Davis.All I can say is that in watching it for several years - it works. The talent he had at UAB was pitiful and he coached them into NCAA bids with wins over Kentucky, Washington, LSU and regular season wins over #1 Memphis and ranked Cincinati (Huggins-era).
Not sure if he'll make it at Mizzou but I'd love to see him back at UAB.
