So is Cooley better than a guy who finishes 3-14, 8-9, 5-7, 8-8, 1-6, and 1-6?

Maybe, maybe not.

I see no evidence, including head-to-head competition, that either is better than the other.

And nobody was claiming Wojo is a great finisher. Anybody who does needs his or her head examined. However, somebody did try to claim that Cooley is a great closer, but his long-term record shows otherwise.

He's 7-6 in big east tournaments according wiki but I count 8-5.. with 3 of those coming from 2014. Please tell me, what does quite well mean? .500 to close out 4/6 years and a game above .500 in 5/6 big east tournaments plus 1 ncaa win. You're just wrong and doubling down on your original statement.

1-1 2019
2-1 2018
0-1 2017
1-1 2016
1-1 2015
3-0 2014

Finals 2018, lost to Villanova in OT
Semis 2016, lost to Villanova 76-68
Semis 2015, lost to Villanova 63-61
Title 2014, beat Creighton 65-58

Yes you can make records sound flashy by labeling rounds as semifinals etc when in reality it's 1-1

7th in BEast is typical for a Wojo led MU team. A little bit worse than mediocre. Same old same old

Ed Cooley and Providence KenPom numbers since 2015:

2020: 40th overall, 75th offense, 20th defense
2019: 79, 164, 41
2018: 63, 100, 36
2017: 60, 101, 40
2016: 44, 92, 28
2015: 27, 42, 42
2014: 48, 30, 94

He is who he is.  It could be this is as good as Providence can be on a regular basis.  Whatever the case, there appears to be a ceiling.  He’s done great work at Providence.  They haven’t been this consistent in a long time.  All that said, until he fixes his offensive scheme, they are a good team with limitations that the coach isn’t addressing

My last points on Cooley:

1. He's in the top three of Big East coaches not named Jay Wright, in the conversation with McDermott, a peer with Willard. (Wojo, close.) Cooley gets more out of his teams than most, and PC just doesn't get a lot of talent. That's going to be a bigger problem now that UConn returns and works the same regional pipeline that PC does.

2. PC basketball is a roller-coaster. For every Rick Pitino there was a Gordie Chiesa, for every Rick Barnes or Pete Gillen, there was a Keno Davis or Tim Welsh. Cooley's five straight NCAA's and seven consecutive post season appearances have only been matched twice in school history, most recently by Dave Gavitt (1970-78). He's a local guy  that's not looking to pressure the college for more money like Chris Mack did at Xavier. PC will never be great, but they will always be good--and for most PC fans, that's fine for them.

Also think people like that his teams play more of an old school gritty defense first brand of ball that the conference is famous for, rather than the 5 out 3-fest that the game is heading towards.  The thing is though, that you really need big athletic guards in order for that style to be effective.  If you're swapping 6'-7" Alpha Diallo and 6'-3" Maliek White for 5'-10" Jared Bynum, that style of ball won't be as effective.

Actually, they're swapping 5'11" Luwane Pipkins for 5'10" Jared Bynum, so not that different.
You actually have a degree from Marquette?

No...and after reading many many psosts from people on this board that do...I have to say I'm MUCH better off, if this is the type of "intelligence" a degree from MU gets you. It sure is on full display I will say that.

Except that Bynum is shorter, lighter, a worse defender, scored less, and had a significantly lower assist % while in the same league. 

PC as a whole lost 5 Seniors and are bringing in 4 players to replace them, 2 mid major transfers, a 200+ ranked Freshman and a 300+ ranked Freshman.  I stand by my assessment that they'll take a step back next year.

1.  As much as I would like to be outraged by 7th, it's probably pretty close.

2.  The fact that I am not outraged by this makes me sad, as it evidences my acceptance of a drop in program expectations.

3.  The thought of 14 years of this terrifies me.
