Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 4909096, member: 9355"] FWIW, which I know might be nothing, I would still put Pitino in Tier 1. Trust me, no one will look forward to seeing St. John's in the first round of the NCAAT if they make it. Tier 1: Hurley/ McDermott / Smart / Pitino I would put Holloway in Tier 2. The guy can coach. Getting St. Peter's into the Elite Eight as a 15 seed is great stuff. He has good schemes and strategy with Seton Hall. He just needs to up his recruiting a little more, but a lot of that depends on Seton Hall's NIL situation. Cooley should be there, too. He rebuilt Providence. Even though his postseason record is nothing great, Providence was irrelevant among Big East circles for 6 years after 2004 and for 6 years earlier after 1997. Tim Welsh couldn't do much and Keno Davis was a disaster. Tier 2: Miller/ Moser/ Holloway/ Cooley Tier 3: Neptune/ English Tier 4: Tony Stubblefield (who got fired in January) [/QUOTE]
