Lucas: Failure

Even Hall of Famers fail.

You win 879 games, you win three national championships, you have the court named after you.

And still you fail.

You have a 32-year head coaching career that is one of the greatest in the sport's history. You facilitate the greatest family environment in all of college sports. You walk into an arena filled with 21,000 people and they respond with cheers and call your name and plead for an autograph or a picture.

And still you fail.

We expect, quite simply, perfection. That is the luxury we have been afforded by nearly 70 years of incredible basketball.
