Is Izzo really better than pitino guys? Are we being prisoners of the moment?

Pitino: 2 ncaa championships, 1 runner up, 7 final fours, 3 elite 8s,, 1 sweet 16


Izzo: 1 ncaa championship, 1 runner up, 7 final fours,1 elite 8, 2 sweet sixteens


Seems to me Pitino is better

Pitino had a 17-year head start on Izzo.

Even if you take out his NBA jobs, he's still ahead by about a decade. Even take out his Boston University stint and he has a head start.

Wouldn't the sweet 16 numbers be equal to the elite 8 for the coaches? That's literally the only way they can even sniff the elite 8

No. We're being prisoners of watching Michigan State always over achieving in the tourney year after year

Anyone saying that Izzo is as good or better than Pitino is definitely being prisoner of the moment. I think the guy is pretty sleazy, but what he's done at two separate schools is remarkable. Plus, he gift-wrapped that 1998 NC team for Tubby Smith.

If Pitino had made the Final Four this year, we'd be having the exact same conversation about him.
