No I get you. And I respect your opinion. I just think you're wrong.

Part of the problem is that the way you're describing things, these two coaches are the same...

They aren't.

Things can be flukes. KO clearly connected with a group of kids and led them to a championship. The stars aligned, if you will. But he's not that coach. Four years should be enough to show that he can't do all the things necessary to run a high level D1 program, at least not yet.

You, of all people, who wrote a very good series of posts 4 years ago (Daniel Hamilton King of the Castle) about why the 2016 team was underrated should know. The talent on that team was Final Four caliber. If it weren't for a miracle 3, they're a 10-11 seed, and regardless they were pantzed in round 2 by a very good, but not great, Kansas team.

Hurley hasn't proven he can win the big one. He has proven he can resuscitate programs on life support. I have no qualms criticizing him in a few years if he can't get the program turned around, and in 5-10 years if he can't prove he can coach in the tournament. The two are about as unrelated as I can imagine.
