From ESPN on the question, "Who was the toughest coach you ever faced?":
Dan Dakich: "Here's a guy who is a good coach who isn't that well-known: Steve Hawkins, Western Michigan. We used to beat Western Michigan while I was at Bowling Green, but we could never beat Steve. He can get guys to play really, really hard. He demanded that the ball go inside. He didn't always have to have the biggest, strongest guys. They ran the floor hard and posted up really, really tough. Not a lot of guys do that, particular today. Makes it unique a little bit."
I like it when coaches use "contrarian" approaches to their offensive and defensive schemes. Opponents are not accustomed to facing systems that are out of vogue.
