thinking College Coaches

All right so I was reading this article today, and I think it pertains to all collegiate sports. Garth Snow, the GM of the New York Islanders, said that Don Lucia, Head Coach of the Minnesota Golden Gopher Hockey Team, was a bad coach(Really? 12 straight years of coaching teams in the Top 25?) and not using the Islanders Kyle Okposo correctly. Okposo has been playing mostly Center this year as the Gophers are short on Centermen. Okposo is a natural winger. Snow doesn't feel that Okposo was getting "properly developed" playing at Minnesota. So here's the question... is it the College Coachs duties to Win? or to develop talent? I mean, Lucia's track record I think speaks for itself, he's a winner, but what should be their real duty?


Somebody turn the lights on,
Somebody tell me what's wrong,
I'd be lying if I told you,
Losing you was something I could handle,
