Analysis of Year 3 Coaching Performances

[achoosier]

I work at a big corporation that likes benchmarking. Let’s do some with IU!

So since the data on coaches is readily available and easy to compile… let’s look at a data set of 20 current coaches (of peer set programs) and their 3rd year performance at their program…

Coach - Conference finish/Postseason

Izzo - T1st/S16
Painter - T2/R32
Calipari - 1st/National Champs
Coach K - T7/none
Coach K Year 4 - T3/R32
Hubert Davis - 1st/TBD
Dan Hurley - T3rd/R64
Rick Barnes (Tennessee) - 1st/R32
Mark Few - 1st/R64
Bruce Pearl - vacated
Bruce Pearl Year 4 - 1st/R32
Bill Self - 1st/R64
Mick Cronin - 2nd/S16
Tommy Lloyd (Arizona) - 1st/TBD
Tony Bennett - 4th/R64
Underwood - 4th/postseason canceled
Underwood Year 4 - 2nd/R32
Gard - 9th/none
Gard Year 4 - 4th/R64
Sampson (Houston) - 3rd/NIT
Musselman - 4th/E8
Otzelberger (Iowa State) - 2nd/TBD
McDermott (Creighton) - 1st/R32
Larranaga - 10th/none
(In his defense, he had a 1st/R32 in his 2nd year)

Average finish: 3.0
% Dancing: 75%

Woody: T6th/none

And looking at the Year 4s of Underwood, Pearl, Coach K, Gard… I’d say Woody should be dancing next spring.

Should be.
