Kevin Willard is in that dead zone of coaches for a program like Seton Hall.  Willard is actually OK as a coach.  Seton Hall is regularly competitive and a candidate for the NCAA tournament.  And while they have one of the best local recruiting regions of any program in the country, that is not an automatic guarantee of being good for a program (see Depaul and Rutgers).  Willard has a solid record.  But Willard also loses enough of these big regular season games to end up with a bad seed in March, which leads to an early exit from the NCAA tournament, even though he has had some good teams over the years.

By "big time", I mean that some coaches seem to be on the losing ends of these big games more than they should.  I can't explain what they are doing wrong, other than every knows they are going to blow it in a close game against a top team.  Seton Hall should be undefeated with two huge wins, and instead they have 2 losses and no marquee wins.  At least get a split out of those games.
