The Zen Master Vs. The Wizard: Why Wooden Would Have Come Out On Top

Let's say I'm an austere foreign billionaire who has recently bought a respectable NBA basketball team and has commissioned you, my newly minted general manager, to craft for me a roster designed to win a title in only one year.

After that year, I'll sell the team and continue to luxuriate overseas, canoodling with my yacht club groupies.
