I was at the Leavey Center as a member of the Sixth Man Club when Stanford got clipped by Santa Clara in 2004-05.  I got home to see a post on the old HoopsBoard, referring to then-head-coach Trent Johnson as "another Buddy Teevens".  That thread, as I recall, set off a bit of a row.  They weren't wrong though.  They were just two coaches ahead of their time.

The bus ride back to Stanford, I still remember how quiet (and dark) it was.  That bus was quiet AF, but at least it was almost full.  I can't imagine that will be the case tonight.

I went to that arena once when Stanford was not that great the prior year, but I knew people that were Santa Clara alums.   They thought Santa Clara would win, but Stanford had this new PG he was AMAZING.  It was then that I got to see how one player can really change everything.   He was scoring and dishing like no PG I had seen at Stanford.   The PG was, of course, Brevin Knight.

In hoops it really can all switch around with just one quality future NBA player.   Well, one quality player and a solid coach.   :(

Maybe next year.
