Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Bell Tolls for Thee" data-source="post: 131970157" data-attributes="member: 1812660">So the technicality that the other poster said Sweet 16 instead of Elite Eight negates the point that JB blew a 20 point lead to Louisville due to the opposing coach completely figuring out the WVU defense and offense in one half?  The point is JB had his flaws and Pitino, not to mention Boeheim, had his number.  Most of his flaws were different than Huggins', but lack of adjustments was shared.JB in 5 seasons:104-60 overall for .63440-40 in conference games for .5001 conference championship game appearance1 season without post season2 NIT's with 1 championship2 NCAA tournaments with an Elite Eight and Sweet 16 appearance.Huggins in 14 seasons:310-171 overall for .644140-111 in conference games for .5584 conference championship game appearances1 conference championship win2 seasons without post season play (CBI included here as it does not count)1 NIT appearance11 NCAA tournament seasons. 1 negated by COVID. 2 first round exits. 3 round of 32 exits, 4 Sweet 16 appearances, and 1 Final Four.Both are good coaches.  Both are flawed coaches.  Huggins sychophantic followers need to stop ignoring his atricious offensive game plans and acting as though having a decent offense is mutually exclusive to his defense/rebounding first philosophy. Huggins haters need to take off their selective rose colored nostalgia glasses that see JB's 5 seasons as greatness while ignoring Huggins first 5 seasons as the absolute improvement on JB's work that they were.It is true that Huggins has under performed or failed to live up to his potential over the second half of his WVU tenure.  However Huggins by the numbers has had a better run with WVU than JB.  It is far more off base to say JB is clearly the better coach than to say Huggins is the better coach.</blockquote>
