It was just the NIT, and what impressed me is that the team voted to play and then showed up. The article mentions Kevin Ollie's 2014 NC team at UConn. I watched their first round game versus - coincidentally - St. Joe's and they absolutely SHOULD HAVE lost that game. So really, when we survived the first round against a solid A-10 team that wanted to beat a Big East team, it didn't bother me much.
I sat in the coaches' office way back then with Ryan Whalen, a St Joe's alum on Willard's staff. You are 100% correct that they should have won that game. I do not remember the particular call but I do remember the ref blowing the game for St Joe's.
agree, kick myself for being lazy and not going to Indy
The intensity came thru the TV screen.
As did prof eds face as I remember...lol
Did I say the performance was poor? I was replying to a comment degrading Painter because Sha beat him head to head with SPU. Painter then went on to national runner up in the big boy tournament.
not sure i would say the post was "degrading" painter. tongue in cheek at worst.
Was an electric game - two great opponents snubbed by the NCAA for the main tourney - who battled until the final minute.
Article was about coaches performance at their Alma mater.
Painter didn’t “then go on to national runner up”. He went on to became the 2nd coach ever to lose to a 16 seed the year after Sha out coached him. I was pointing out that somehow Painter is the #1 coach at his alma mater, I disagree.
Nearly 450 wins, 15 NCAA appearances, a Final Four, seven Sweet 16s, two Elite Eights and a Final Four would like a word.
Why do you think I’m saying Sha as better than Painter? I don’t think he should be #1. He lost as a 1 seed to a 16 and to a 15 as a 3 seed in back to back seasons. That was my point. I doubt Painter would say Holloway at Seton Hall is in the mixed bag after coaching against him.
Excuse me for not giving Sha credit for FAU as well.
And again, the title of the article is Coaches at their Alma Maters and judges performance AT THEIR ALMA MATERS. I missed us playing Purdue the last two years, and Sha and SETON HALL handing one to Painter.
Good luck buddy. I dared to go there mentioning the fact he is 0-2 BET games both times as the better seed, one of which was DePaul. It's a tough crowd here. Many can't admit we overachieved but also face facts good programs evaluate the season as NCAA or bust. After a decade of NCAA or bust somehow the NIT is now where the cool kids play. First time since 2014-2015 we missed consecutive NCAA tournaments, but clearly our guy is better than Matt Painter because Matt's the only guy in NCAA tournament history to lose to a 15 and a 16 seed. LOL. Oh you know those downsides to consistently being a top 3 seed in the tournament.
Where did anyone say Holloway was better than Painter? Both of you continue to make up things never written,
Well maybe I misunderstood when you said you disagree Painter was the best coach at his Alma mater. I figured you had to mean Shaheen is ahead of him. Sincere apologies but that’s what it comes off as.
I believe you’re mistaken, that’s General Soreness.
Seems like a fail. I’d put both over Hoiberg.
I was really hoping the poster I quoted would answer the question before anybody else chimed in.
If this is for all coaches not just active, no one close to boeheim.
Think it just depends on how you look at it. Roy has 2 nattys to Jimmy’s 1 in half the years at his Alma mater. But as 87 pointed out for some weird reason you had to be hired in the last 15 years for this list.
"The coaches ranked are either active now or were hired by their former school within the past 15 years."
The whole article is a solid premise gone bad.
I'm still hearing "anybody but Matt Painter."
