Still on train. If I am so crazy. Why do we lose? Ed Cooley had a bare cupboard. So did wojo, Lavin, seton hall coach, Ewing. Butler had a new coach last year. They didn’t have many players coming back . They had a good season.
Ed Cooley inherited a Junior Vincent Council and Soph Bryce Cotton. He made the tournament in his 3rd year as an 11 seed.
Woj inherited a Senior starting PG a Soph Luke Fischer. He made the tournament in his 3rd year as a 10 seed and missed it in his 4th.
Lavin inherited a roster full of seniors in his first year. It took him 4 years to get back to the NCAA tournament where he got a 9 seed and bounced in round 1.
Willard inherited a Senior Jeremy Hazell, Junior Herb Pope and Junior PG Jordan Theodore. It took him 6 years to make the NCAA Tournament.
Ewing inherited an All-Conference caliber player in Govan and another very good player in Derrickson. he loaded up his non conference schedule with nothing but cupcakes and still finished .500 in year 1.
Jordan inherited All-Conference Kelan Martin, Senior Tyler Wideman, and Sophomore Kamar Baldwin.
Mullin inherited Christian Jones and Amar Alibegovich.
Every single one of those other coach's essentially had a 1 year head start on Mullin in regards to where their program was when they took over. Others, like Jordan, inherited a very good team.
Now do you see why people think you're stupid?
