Doesn’t matter. Pearl is a top coach, top coaches will produce no matter the school. Took him 4 years. Izzo at MSU  3 years. K at Duke 4 years. Calipari at Memphis (pre 1 and done recruiting strategy) took 3 years to make the NCAA’s. But I get it, life is so much better being negative and down about your hobbies. 

I'd still rather have a coach that doesn't have a 'show cause' in his past who now has a former assistant headed to jail in Chuck Person.  Let's not assume this is going to end well.

Agreed. I like watching Pearls teams. Just don’t want him at my favorite team bc if the baggage. Just making the point he is good, bends the rules and still takes 4 years.

2 win away from being the top coach of 2nd year coaches. Considering the injuries and losing streak, this gives me some needed optimism.

Eh I don't know man, 2 of those wins were in the NIT.

I don’t think 2 wins would make that big a dent in Kenpom. Unless we traded 2 of our blowout losses for wins.

So?  It just as easily could have dropped in the tourney. 

Not if you won games in the tourney. If you lost one game in the tourney it would have been to a likely top 25 KenPom team.

Two more wins almost anywhere on our schedule and Archie would've had the top season (other than Will Wade who had a hell of a year, despite being a cheating fraud) of second year coaches.

This season rode the line of exceeding expectations and falling short. There are a million reasons anyone could point to to explain this, but end of the day, Archie and boys didn't get it done. They'll get another shot this year, and I like to believe the returning personnel had a major year of learning and mental growth.

Our defensive improvement year-over-year is what has me so optimistic.
