i didn't mean that as an attack on you personally. i was giving a for instance. an elite's ad should want someone who has proven to succeed in the post season, and contend for championships, over a coach whose ceiling you can see because he has been playing against d1 teams. however, an elite will take a d1 guy who has been doing all those things. win a couple playoff games a year and a cc or two in three years, and you will have elite consideration in d1. sometimes it doesn't take that much.
