Coach DDv doesn’t have the clout to build a top 25 roster.  He has to coach up what he can get and work from there.  Make the tournament and he’ll be headed in the right direction.  

Money greatly decreases the need for “clout” to build a roster.

If you’re top 25 in spending, I don’t think it’s at all unreasonable to expect to have a top 25 roster.

The problem with that line of thinking is that everybody has money.  So if you're choosing between, lets say Bill Self, Dan Hurley, and CDDv, how much money will make a difference?  I want money, but I also want to win.  2 of those are proven winners right now.  One is working on it, and hopefully gets there soon.
