Message: [QUOTE="Excalibur, post: 5206842, member: 62"] Pitino is as close to 100 as it gets. Younger Cal was probably an 80-90. What he managed to do at UMass with one superstar and a bunch of ok players was very impressive. He had better talent at Memphis but not like he did at KY and was very successful. Once he got to Lexington he just had the best players and rolled the ball out. McDermott is also in that 80-90 range. Always seems to have his teams playing at the top of their ability. Penny in the 70 range or so. Good coach, gets players with the enormous resources that Memphis gets from wealthy donors. Nothing special. Scheyer was unimpressive until this year, when he has maybe the best player in college hoops in the past 5 years. I'd put him in that 70-80 range for now but jury is still out. Drew was on a Jim Calhoun-like track but hasn't been able to sustain after getting to the top. I'd say he's around an 80 on your scale. [/QUOTE]
