Let's be honest folks, WE didn't understand based on BE games, team performance, eye test and stats why some had Whitmore as a #6-10 draft pick. He was good not great and disappeared at times. We liked Karaban better. 
Then it is widely reported that he gave bad interviews to NBA teams.
= #20 seems about right with or without whatever the coach said or didn't say AND that has to be far down the list on draft pick determinants.

I also agree with those saying coaches need to be honest in their assessments AND that its likely the press is spinning a neutral comment from the coach as 'trashing' the kid. Ultimately he was drafted in the first round after one OK year in college and has a guaranteed contract on a team that will give him an opportunity to play. This is a pretty good outcome, I doubt it has a major effect on Villanova going forward.
Ultimately (as we know well), coaches are evaluated based on how well they do at the primary mission of the job which is of course measured and reflected in a teams record.
