    Of course, if you want to be realistic, Michigan didn't make any Final Fours while Webber was there.

    Yes, michigan had to forfeit all the games Webber played in.

    Calipari is also the highest paid coach in the game without ever having gone to a final 4....technically.

    Hasnt Michigan St gone to back to back final 4's as well?

    Yes, and a very impressive 6 in 12 years.

    I do not deny they accomplished some stuff and were a good team. I do not think they are among the best ever though, not even close. I do not think they deserve a documentary when so many other better teams do not get one.

    My list was not meant to be all inclusive, just some examples.

    They didn't get a documentary because of their 'game.'

    I don't think anyone thinks that. Even Jalen Rose isn't that delusional. No way they filled 2 hours of story by talking about just the games Michigan won those two years. It wasn't impressive enough to warrant a documentary along the lines of 'The Two Escobars,' I agree.

    If you're going to argue that making back to back Final Fours isn't impressive, I'll have to disagree. But yes, it's not the type of thing that warrants a 2 hour documentary. Especially considering one of the teams they lost to was the first team to win back to back championships sine 1976.

    Without looking it up they made it in 1999 and won in 2000. And like Laff said, 6 out of 12 is the best streak since Duke's 7 out of 9.

    I guess it is impressive to go to back to back final fours but they are slamming a team that went to 7 out of 9 with back to back championships. The Duke team(s) during that era was light years better. It is like Jim Kelly doing a documentary on the Bills and slamming the Cowboys.
