Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 5233620, member: 1559"] In 2016, after the SEC only landed 3 teams in the NCAAT, Greg Sankey, the SEC commissioner, hired Mike Tranghese, former Big East commissioner as an advisor to help the SEC improve in basketball. The SEC made changes including better scheduling and the schools hired better head coaches. What we are seeing right now is the result of what they did. ACC basketball has declined as they didn't effectively replace their head coaches and they still haven't. The Big East has made some progress with the addition of UConn and the turnaround at St. John's, but Villanova stumbled with their head coaching hire as has Providence, the jury is still out on Cooley at Georgetown, and Seton Hall has to decide if they want to compete. DePaul and Butler seem to be improving. Although Miller left Xavier, I think they will be OK. [/QUOTE]
