Tom Izzo/Michigan State Taking over for Jud Heathcoat.
1) 95-96. 16-16. 9-9. B10
2) 96-97. 17-12. 9-9. B10
* 3) 97-98. 22-8. 13-3 B10 Champion
Guess ol dirt bag crybaby Tom needed a couple of years to get his own players to turn the tide.
Bruce Pearl/ Auburn
1) 14-15. 15-20. 4-14 Sec
2) 15-16. 11-20 5-13 Sec
3) 16-17. 18-14 7-11 Sec
Bruce finally turned it around in year 4. Guess he needed his own full roster of players. 15-16, Crean won a B1G championship while Pearl struggled. After patience and waiting look how that flipped back in the other direction VBG.
Tony Bennett/ Virginia
1) 09-10. 15-16 5-11
2) 10-11. 16-15 7-9
*3) 11-12. 22-10 9-7.
Guess ol Tony needed his 3rd year and more to turn things around in the right direction. Oh you mean majority of his own players? Yep.
Ben Howland/ Pittsburgh
1) 99-00. 13-15. 5-11
2) 00-01. 19-14. 7-9. NIT
*3) 01-02. 29-6. 13-3
Guess my boy Ben Howland needed his time to get his own players to turn this program back around.. Onto UCLA at this point for him.
Ben Howland/ UCLA
1) 03-04. 11-17. 7-11
2) 04-05. 18-11. 11-7. Ncaa’s
3) 05-06. 32-7. 14-4. Ncaa F4/runner up.
Guess he really did need time to recruit his own caliber of player and implement his system.
Billy Donovan/ Florida
1) 96-97. 13-17. 5-11
2) 97-98. 14-16. 6-10. NIT
3) 98-99. 22-9. 10-6. Ncaa’s.
Guess BTK needed his time and own players to fit his system. We all know what he did after this season and rest of his tenure at UF.
Kelvin Sampson/ Houston
1) 14-15. 13-19. 4-4
2) 15-16. 22-10. 12-6. NIT
* 3) 16-17. 21-11. 12-6. NIT
4) 17-18. 27-8. 14-4. Ncaa’s
Guess ol flip phone Kelvin needed his time to get his own players to get his system down...
Tom Crean / Marquette
1) 99-00. 15-14. 8-8. NIT
2) 00-01. 15-14. 9-7
*3) 01-02. 26-7. 13-3. Own Tommy Boy needed his 3 years to turn Marquette around. 4th year added with a F4.
Tom Crean/ Indiana
1) 08-09. 6-25. 1-17
2) 09-10. 10-21. 4-14
3) 10-11. 12-20 3-15
*4) 11-12. 27-9. 11-7. Ncaa’s S16..
Just some examples of some very good coaches and one solid coach who had to have their own time to turn around their new programs they took over... I feel Archie this season will be on the same trajectory as Crean @ Marquette, Donovan at UF and Bennett at Virginia in terms of year three getting things turned around and headed into right direction. Let’s all hope he follow’s their path instead of Crean’s hot and cold.
My prediction for Archie @ Indiana in year 3?
21-10. 11-9 B1G. Ncaa’s.
Year 4? I look for 24+ wins and top 3 in conference. (before postseason) Hopefully Archie begins his sucess at Indiana this season.
