Only defense is that Woody took over a much tougher job/roster. Still Davis managed to get into the tourney the last two years.  
 

Not sure what Shaka would have to do for this guy to get higher grade. He’s got to be their most successful coach since McGuire.  I don’t think Marquette would trade Shaka any more than ISU would trade Otz. 

Woodson also got a pass on SOS... many of us here on BTB could win 60% of the games against that level of competition with the talent that Woodson collected. Without TJD carrying him for the first 2 seasons, Woodson was a solid F.

IU had a top 26 SoS (via Kenpom) his last 3 years.  I guess I never really got that complaint. It was way better than some of those watered down Crean years.

Am I reading correctly that you think the situation that Woodson took over was harder than Davis? LOL!

Mike Davis had the hardest job in the history of college basketball for taking over for a fired Bob Knight.

Wrong Davis. Hubert Davis of UNC is the Davis who is talked about in the article and is being referenced in the comment you replied to.
