UF is the Donovan era and that's it.

You could almost say the same about UConn and Calhoun.

They were a moderately successful regional program before, but nothing close to what they became during his era. And Calhoun was there over a decade before UConn reached their first Final Four, long after their original Big East rivals had already broken through.

Obviously Ollie won one, but he hasn't sustained the same level of success, which makes Calhoun's run even more impressive.

yeah but uconn has 4 titles to Florida's 2. also, you can make the argument that 95% of Florida's success can be attributed to one recruiting class.

uconn also gets further benefit of the doubt because they played in the dominant basketball conference
