And as far as the other coaches in the league, not all of them are looking to leave it. Jim Larranaga has built good teams at Mason, but he hasn't been great every season. Even still, I think that program is every bit as good as Xavier—maybe better.
And in one fell swoop the man they call Poison lost any and all credibility to discuss college hoops . . . forever. 
Remember when I said pre-season #73 Syracuse was going to contend this year?
Neither do a lot of people. That's okay. Keep talking.
But are they a better program than George Mason???
Not in 2006 they weren't. And neither was the #1 ranked team in the nation.
There is a difference between a program, i.e. history, and a team, i.e. on freakishly lucky run through the NCAA tournament. They were a good, not great, team that year that saw everything go their way as they beat two ranked teams (neither #1, UConn was #2 in the last poll pre tourney, UNC 10/11) before losing to Florida.
I leave Syracuse out of this as that's simply ridiculous but you deem them a better program than Xavier who just in recent history has made the dance 6 of the last 7 years including 1 elite 8 and 2 sweet sixteens and only 1 first round loss.
Yes I'm wondering why I bother.
