2011 and 2013.  2011 they absolutely should have at least made the Final Four, or at least put up a better fight against A&M (a team they beat 3x that year), and in 2013 there was no excuse to not trounce Louisville.  Beat Louisville and they have a cake walk to the finals (next games are against Tennessee and Cal) and then the UCONN showdown.  If they play UCONN in the finals and lose, you still have a lot more respect for Kim's success with Griner IMO.

For me it wasn't that they didn't make it to the final game but they were handily beat by an inferior team in 2011, and in 2013 they lost in the Sweet 16 to an extremely inferior team.  To make just 1 Final Four from 2011-2013 when you have Griner and Sims is a travesty IMO.  Kim isn't a bad coach by any means, but she's a far step below the top tier of coaches.  She can recruit with the best of them but is not up to par with her ability to make in game adjustments and come up with strong game plans.  Vic and Rueck have had zero business beating Baylor the last 3 years.
