Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 2602793, member: 1023"] In evaluating these guys you have to consider not just records but where they compiled them. Northeastern for example probably plays 4-5 games s year where they have very little chance. Games against a national team on the road. This year they played at Stanford and at Ohio State for example. That’s 2 games where they had no chance and his program isn’t designed to have a chance against those teams. So to say Coen lost to 2 top 20 teams isn’t the same as saying UConn lost to 2 top 20 teams. Same with NCAA wins. If you coach in a one bid league for the most part avdeep run is the round of 32. If you coach at UConn it’s the Elite Eight. So again you can’t compare tournament wins by Northeastern with UConn. For one making the post season is the ultimate goal. For the other winning the tournament is. I’m not advocating for Coen, by the way. Wouldn’t be my choice. Just using NU as an example. One guy starts the year realistically 3-4 games in the hole. The other shouldn’t. [/QUOTE]
