    Biggest Legacy Accomplishments

    I figured I'd start a thread so people could talk about some of their biggest accomplishments in their legacy, or just in this game in general.

    1 - Winning the National Championship with Charleston in my 2nd overall year in my current legacy. The farthest I've ever made it in a legacy before was the Final 4, and normally I get unlucky and lose first round. Actually in this legacy, the year before and year after I was upset in the first round. Somehow I was able to string together some of the best wins Ive had on this game to make a run for the title as a 6 seed. I never had to face a 1 seed in the tournament, and the worst team I faced was 12 seed Villanova in the Elite 8. All the games were pretty close and involved some big shots by my star Andrew Goudelock to win, but this hands down was the biggest accomplishment for me.

    2 - In my East Tennessee St legacy, I had one of my players go off for 80 points in a 3OT victory over Alabama in the semis of an inseason tournament. It was amazing. If I remember correctly, a player on Alabama hit a 3 at the buzzer of regulation from full court that would have won it, but time had run out before he got the shot off. Then it just went wild. in the 2nd OT i remember trailing by 6 late, and my player went Reggie Miller and hit a 3, stole it on the inbounds and hit a 3 with a second left to force the 3rd OT. He was dead tired but i couldnt take him out, and I was able to have 3 bench players in with full energy and ended up winning by 8 or so. It was just a wild game and i couldnt believe it while it was going on.

    3 - Also at ETSU, I recruited the Mr. Basketball of Tennessee. He was a 4-star PG and he was a pretty key player in my success at ETSU. It was in my 2nd or 3rd year I got him, but to me it was a surprise because there are much bigger and better basketball programs in the state (Memphis, Tennessee, Vanderbilt). It was probably the best recruiting accomplishment because it happened at the school I started at and even though Ive gotten 5 stars, it just felt good to get the best player in the state when in such a small conference

    making it to the elite eight with tennessee state my second year. We actually had a better team my third year, but we got put out in the first round of the ncaa tournament. My team this year is rated an 83 overall and we lost our first two games and now we are on an 8 game winning streak.

      Does the game go crazy when you win it all? Crowd? your team? Are there cut scenes that show up with your guys holding the trophy?

        It shows a news paper with the headline about you winning it all.

        My greatest accomplishment was back-to-back titles with 2 different schools. In year 5 I won with Campbell then took the Houston job where I won the next season. My Campbell team was perfect for a title run. I had 3 guys who could bomb 3's, a PF with size and could step out and hit a jumper, and a center who was 7'0" with great rebounding ability. My bench had size and similar skill as my starters so there was very little drop-off. My size was too much for every team I faced.

        Then I took a job at Houston where I inherited a team who went to the Finial Four the year I won it all. They lost to USC whom I beat. I had the best player I have had in the game. He was 6'11" PF with a 89 3pt rating. He was in the 90's for mid and close range as well and could play D like no other. He was my team.

        I'm now in year 20 with only 1 NC since year 6. I had a perfect season with Michigan where I have been the last 7 seasons of my career. That year I had 8 seniors, 1 junior, and 1 sophomore that played. Everyone left after that season with the sophomore transferring, 5 going pro, and the other 3 seniors careers were over. I like to think they went overseas to play.
        Relax, it's just a video game!

          the 1 title I won with UMASS in 20 plus seasons that I have played this game.
          went to the finals 1 other time with Marquette and lost.
          Ive probably made the tourney 45% of the seasons Ive played.

            Biggest accomplishment while playing is definitely getting to the Elite 8 as Drexel. Especially as a 6 seed where I had to tear through the 2 and 3 seeds who were both vastly superior to me. Sadly, I lost to the team that knocked off the #1 seed (who I had beaten earlier in the season).

            My biggest accomplishment in the game total? Probably it was while simming through a dynasty just to learn recruiting. I managed to win the National Title at Wichita State my first year there. Total fluke win, but I'll take winning it with someone else's players (I made it to the Final Four 3 years later).

                    Made it to 3 straight Final Fours - 2 at North Texas, then after taking over at Wake Forest led them to the Final Four my first season there. Won the National Championship at UNT in my 1st Final Four, lost in the National Semis the next 2 years.

                    Also in my 1st season at North Texas I turned them around from 5 wins to 32-3 and lost in the Elite 8. And as I mentioned my 1st season at my current job Wake I turned them from 6-23 to 26-10 and lost in the Final Four.

                    My overall resume: Overall Record (10 seasons - 3 at UC Riverside, 5 at North Texas, and 2 at Wake Forest) - 270-77 (.778 win pct) - 24-8 in NCAA tournament (.750 win pct) - 1 National Championship - 3 Final Four Appearances - 5 Elite 8 Appearances - 6 Sweet 16 Appearances

                        In the 13 years of my coaching career (link to my thread detailing it in my signature), my greatest accomplishment was probably making the Championship Game in my final year at San Francisco before getting blasted pretty good by Maryland in the Title Game. It was my third Final Four appearance, but I own a 1-3 record in the Final Four up to this point, so no National Titles for me yet in my coaching career. I've got a damn good WVU team this year, though...

                          It has to be the 3 championships I won in my 12 years at UMASS. I started at UNF and made it to the elite 8 with the best team I had while I was there. I left two years later in my 8th season to go to UMASS. 3 championships in 20 years. Not bad.

                            I won the NC with Baylor in my 5th season and now Coach K retired. I have been a Duke fan all my life so I jumped ship. Now I'm rolling into Duke team that had a 9-7 conference record. I can't wait!

                              Id have to say my "Coach Delk"legacy was my greatest.I played for 35 seasons my coach was 72 years old when i ended it with a record of 924-250.I won 4 NC and 12 straight Big Ten championships with Illinois where i spent most of my career(20 years).

                              But one of the most feel good things about the entire legacy i only played a small but yet kinda big part in.Before taken the job at Illinois i started out at Texas at Arlington and stayed for 3 years before taken the job at Fresno St.I stayed at Fresno St for 12 years avg 24 wins a season there and winning 9 out of 12 WAC titles.I made it to the NC game once,the elite 8 twice and the sweet 16 4 times.I never won a NC there but once i left for Illinois, Fresno St turned into a Powerhouse the rest of my legacy.They went on to win two NC's and absolutley dominated the WAC.I was more proud of that then i was my own accomplishments because i built the foundation for their success.Ive gotten commitments from the top overall recruits,signed the top class,won my own NC's but somethin about watchin them go on to be super succesful made me more proud then any of the other things.Man i love this game.........
