My Take
There is something quietly admirable about Greg McDermott. He built Creighton into a winner and became the program's all-time wins leader without ever chasing the spotlight, which I respect in an era of loud personalities. What fascinates me most is the family thread: he coached his own son Doug into an NBA career, a rare convergence of teaching and parenting. To me, McDermott embodies the patient, decades-long craft of college coaching, the kind of figure who shapes lives far beyond box scores. I find that legacy more compelling than any single championship banner, and it earns my lasting respect.
