Sorry, but the facts keep getting in the way.
Missed the tourney 2004, 2005 under Davis. 95-01, made tourney and never got out of the 2nd round (just like Crean). Sampson never got past the 2nd round either. So in the last 20 years, only 2 IU coaches made the Sweet 16, Davis once and Crean twice. How f'ing sad is that?
