Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 5229524, member: 7748"] Well if you consider recency the last 3 years. The Jacks have had a better record and improved each year over that 3 year. The same cannot be said for the kitties. Moreover the Payne approach over that 3-year. Includes no players leaving the program. The body of work of each coach shows that Barnes has more victories and had a much hotter start and as you say in a previous post she did turn around a program that was in horrible shape. Payne also came into a program that was a disaster over the previous 11 years, in fact in worse shape than the kiddie program. Both have completed wonderful jobs at turning programs around. If recency is 3 years then there is bias but the trend for Payne is clearly up and the trend for Barnes is down with the exception of salary and her fashion. It's interesting there is always push back after coaches have achieved level of the success and it seems as if the grace that we've discussed based upon history does not involve any consequences in the present. That said I'm confident that the 1.2 million dollar coach (I believe she's the highest paid woman's coach in the Big 12 she certainly in the top three so her salary is not reflective of her big 12 performance or the last 2 years in the pac-12) will stay in the dirty t and soon become a 1.8 million dollar coach. I suspect Payne maybe one of those young coaches on the way up and her days in Flagstaff may be limited. [/QUOTE]
