Scoop's peer group:
114-78 is below .500? I hope you didn't get your mathematics education at Marquette.
>.500 record at current school>100 games coached at current schoolBetween 1 and 3 NCAA Tournament appearances (inclusive)Zero Sweet Sixteen (or further) appearancesIf Wojo's results are all we should ever expect (without being entitled), which of these coaches/programs are we aspiring to be?
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
The criterion is GREATER THAN .500 as indicated by “>.500”.I hope you didn’t get your mathematics degree from Marquette.
The question you ask at the end does not match the data you provide. Aspiring to be implies future results, not current ones. The more accurate measure would be to look at coaches whose first five years featured the criteria you listed.
I will add others. Brian Wardle as some have mentioned him for the position >100 sub .500. Only 1 NCAA appearance. Mike Hopkins -washington 97 games. No sweet sixteen. Good first two years horrible third year. Jamie Dixon - >100 games with current team. 1 tournament with no sweet sixteen. Last passed sweet sixteen in 2009. 17years head coaching experience Ben Howland - >100games at current school. One NCAA appearance. No sweet 16s. Last relevancy was UCLA and has 24 years head coaching experience. His current run doesn’t live up to his early days. Frank Haith - Not on your list because he made 4 nCAAs in 16year career. Your list is meaningless.
Well done, Ball Boy.Anybody can come up with a list to make any coach of their choosing look good or bad in comparison.For example ...Of Jay Wright, Mike Krzyzewski, Lute Olson, Jim Calhoun, Dana Altman, Kelvin Sampson, Eddie Sutton, John Beilein, Mike Montgomery and Steve Wojciechowski, only Wojciechowski reached the NCAA tournament twice in his first five seasons as a D1 head coach.That's some peer group, and Wojo's at the head of it!(Before Nojos start screaming that Wojo hasn't earned the right to be listed with those guys, and those guys have more than made up for relatively slow starts, and many of those guys started when conferences received only one bid, and Wojo is at a bigger school than most of those other guys, and yada yada yada ... I get it. I was just demonstrating how anybody can make up a "peer group" to fit one's narrative.)
I think the greater than 100 games with their current university criteria is the important thing to note. These are coaches who are committed/tied to their respective universities. Most of the guys you named would be eliminated from this list based on that criteria. And when they did show up again at their new universities (i.e. Wright at Nova), they'd be eliminated due to the "success" criteria (i.e. more NCAA bids, Sweet Sixteen).
Seriously, this is the most arbitrary set of filters ever. Pass, not worth my time.(And I realize I spent time reading and replying, whoops)
I'll add to the list. Anthony Grant of Dayton. You know the team with a 4 beside their name. Eleven seasons as a head coach with a record of 253–141 (.642). Three NCAA tournament appearances with 1 win. How about Colorado's Tad Boyle? You may recognize his team as the one with a 21 besides their name. His Colorado record in 9+ seasons is 210–129 (.618) and only 1 NCAA Tournament win in 4 appearances which came in 2015-16. The three following seasons he's 9 games over .500 total. In case you need a reminder. MU is currently 8 games over .500 this year. Andy Enfield is also putting Wojo to shame with his 2 NCAA appearances and 1 win in the five seasons at USC. But with your criteria the 1 win in March makes him superior to Wojo.What about coaches who have regressed the six years we had Wojo. Utah's Krystkowski is probably not going to make the tournament this year. In the past 5 seasons, 1 NCAA appearance with 1 win which happened 5 years ago. Maybe we start a support group with their fan base. Larrañaga of Miami has made a Sweet 16 in the past 5 seasons (doesn't look like he's going to make the tournament this year so I'll add it). But 2 appearances in the 4 seasons since with zero wins probably with consecutive years of missing the tournament probably means his time is limited. I think you would be happy with Brian Brownwell of Clemson another titan towering over Wojo. Tenth season this year. Two appearances total but did make the Sweet 16 in year 8.Can we stop this nonsense now? To paraphrase Norman Dale. My coach is on the court.
I'm confused as to the point you're making. Are you saying adding these coaches, who barely missed based on the criteria, would be somehow better for Wojo? It would still be an embarrassing list.The idea wasn't to name every bad coach in the NCAA; it was to come up with a list of coaches whose resume lines up with Wojo's at Marquette. So far the high major coaches that align with him are Rich Pitino and Pat Chambers... Big yikes.
