Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4574470, member: 6696"] I didn't give any of the coaches wins except sweet-16s or better. And I didn't count anything at mid-majors, because that's often just a fluke. Shaka has tons of wins in the tourney, including a Final 4 at VCU, but I was only including experience at high-majors. Danny does not look better if you count entire post-season records. I didn't include this record because taking on a rebuild vs an already established team tends to warp things. [B]Hurley: [/B](13 years as a HC: 2 Wagner, 6 URI, 5 UConn) [LIST] [*]2-4 NCAAT record [*]1x conference regular season champion [*]1x conference tournament champion [/LIST] [B]Oats: ([/B]8 seasons as a HC: 4 at Buffalo and 4 at Bama) [LIST] [*]4-5 NCAAT record [*]4x conference regular season champion [*]5x conference tournament champion [/LIST] [B]Beard: [/B](8 years as a head coach: 1 at Little Rock, 5 at Tech, 1 at Texas) [LIST] [*]11-5 NCAAT record [*]2x conference regular season champion [*]3x conference tourney champion [/LIST] [B]Shaka: [/B](14 years as a head coach: 6 at VCU, 6 Texas, 2 Marquette) [LIST] [*]6-9 NCAAT record [*]4x conference tournament champion [*]1x conference regular season champion [/LIST] I think it's fair to say at this point that Oats and Beard are a cut above Hurley. They're also both garbage human beings, so I'm happy they didn't get hired here. Howard, Cronin, Holtmann are some other solid coaches around the same age. I didn't include them because I'm lazy, and because Howard and Cronin are kind of unique circumstances. Holtmann is 7-7 in his career in the NCAAT with one sweet-16 in I believe 12 years as a head coach. I think it's fair to say that it's time for Hurley to win in the damn post-season or he's going to be pulled off the shortlist of elite young coaches. [/QUOTE]
