Dean I believe it is all in the attitude. I played in two national final fours in college and coached in 3 with the U of Calgary. In Bemidji Coach Peters stated at a dinner with eveyone present that "we are here for the whole apple and not for the apple sauce." there was never an option of not winnig but most importantly not do eveything it takes to win. This was drilled on us from day one. When we scored or they scored we all knew why the goal happened. Clarity
All three times we went to the final four when I was asst. coach at the U of Calgary we were ranked #1 in Canada and we never won. In my opinion as a former player I thought we changed everything so much when we got to Toronto that the players were not comfortable and all three time underachieved.. (just my thought and I could be full of sh—).
