Perhaps in recognition of his third national championship, coach
Graham Sims has leveled up again. He is now one of five Level 14 coaches in our universe. The others are
Kenneth Burroughs of USC,
Ervin Gadson of Boston College,
Wallace Hastings of Georgetown, and Joseph Owens of
West Virginia. Three of these consummate pros regularly match wits with each other in the Big East.
