The answer to Zipp's question...

[nccardfan]

the coach who has done less with more is obviously Sean Miller. Miller has the best winning percentage and # of wins in the last four years with 124. Been to the elite 8 four times, sweet 16 7 times, and 9 tournament bids without a FF appearance. Arizona's recruiting class in 2011-2012 was ranked No. 1 surpassing UK who was No. 1 in 2010 and 2011. What's this mean? He's a bad coach - NO! Means it is awfully hard to win a championship.

It is very difficult to win a championship. Lets look at this a different way. UCLA has 11 national championship in 97 years, and 10 of them were within an 11 year period.

UofK has been playing over 100 years and has 8 titles, 4 of them when the field was 24 teams or less.

Yes, it is very difficult to win a national championship. 100% agree.

And there are many of our fans who want him to replace coach cal when he moves on from Kentucky.

Agree. But the lack of Final Four Appearances is concerning if your an Arizona Fan. But I would caution the Arizona Fans, changing coaches is an inexact science. Tom Jurich has done an excellent Job hiring coaches and even he whiffed on Kragthorpe.

Indiana should go after him. He could get that program turned around in a hurry.

Considering they give rings for the sweet 16 they'd love him. And they'd have plenty of bling on their hands. Could you imagine what they'd do for an elite 8?

Here are the updated stats for 5-star recruits since Pitino Lite arrived at LPT. They're still running 2-1 over the next-highest team which is what slapd!cks live for (recruits)...

To the OP's point, Arizona gets its fair share which is why Miller is coming under fire. And rightfully so. I'm not sure one title edges out Lite (36 recruits) over Miller (15), but they're in the same discussion. Kansas and Self (13) may be as well if they don't win it this year.

"Elite program," my a$$...

Miller can't even make the final four in the west year in and year out

Yeah, and with his talent, he shouldn't be let off the hook for that. Anymore than I cut your guy slack...

 

[MychalG]

I thought this was the year Miller was going to break through and get to the final four. Once again he disappoints..

 

[FURYREVENGE4]

I had Gonzag /Ariz Ariz/Nc Arizona champs i thought they break thru this year
Kan/NC
