Hot Take: Lemonis has a Phil Jackson Zenmaster like quality

And by Zen I mean highly aware of the present moment and the moments coming. Higher than average awareness and I think the players feel that and benefit from it.

Couple that with a Mark Mangino appetite and you have a national championship winning coach

This team's mental toughness, especially during the postseason run up to the natty, was off the charts. I'm sure Lemonis had a lot to do with that.

Limped to the end of year, got humiliated in the SEC tourney, barely beat a can of soup to win the regional, scraped by ND in the super (they won that super everywhere but the scoreboard), and started playing our best ball when it mattered. Great coaching and mental toughness. We could have folded at many points in the year, included getting trounced in the first game of the championship series.
