But 4 years of house keeping and winning 20 once vs sisters of the poor just isn't enough.

That is pretty much what White did at Tech before he got the Florida job.

I think most people who follow college basketball consider the Big East to be a major conference.

Well, it is even more confusing than that. The typical Big East is absolutely a basektball power 5 conference.

But they lost Syracuse, Notre Dame, Louisville and Uconn

Right. It was basically be the Johnny jones hire all over again

It's worse. I wasn't a huge fan of Jones, but Kermit would be an absurdly bad hire, and I'm immediately off defending Alleva if he hires Kermit.

Wade is an ok hire. Crean is a great hire.

Firstly, Crean inherited a total mess at IU. He turned it around by the 3rd year. He had 2 bad years since then. I'll take that IU production at LSU. He's a solid recruiter. He was in a pretty good bball conference. They won 27 games last year. It's a lot like Miles.

We're hiring a younger Les Mikes for bball. I'm fine with that given our perception.

White avged what 27-28 wins a year?

And never made the tourney.

So how do we do this I answer the question and if it's the right answer you change the curriculum? Ok got it. White is doing it at present at Florida so.

He's winning as we speak lol. In the SEC no less.

Judging by your metrics and own words in this thread, you would have chose Crean and Stansbury over White though correct?

I think you are missing a few years on Kermit. He has been very solid for the past 6 years.

Mike White just made his first NCAA tournament in 6 years as a head coach.
