Thanks. And I think someone corrected me elsewhere of the same. Do we need to draw out comparisons between our history of 'best' coaches for the dumpers as well?
Sloan (skipping his first stint at UF for 6 yrs) made the NCAA in his 7th year of 9 yrs (second stint) at UF, with only 3 appearances and his best a Sweet 16.
Kruger made his first NCAA appearance with UF in the 4th of 6 yrs at UF. That was a Final 4, followed by a first round appearance.
Donovan, the gold standard, made the NCAA in his 3rd year of 19 yrs. Totalled 14 NCAA appearances in those 19 years, topped of course by the back-to-back NCs. I think everyone would agree Billy was an exception, not the norm, for basketball coaches - especially for coaches not at Duke, Kansas, or UK.
So, then we have White, who appears to be reaching the NCAA in year 2 of how many, we don't know. We also don't know how deep he can take a team. But for the first mark he has been able to hit - he's getting to the NCAA quicker than the others. And we can't say he inherited a team of top talent and was riding Billy's players considering Billy didn't even make the NIT in his last year with his own players.
