He's a fine coach, but rival fans and some uk fans make it sound like he is some titan on high because he split the series with cal with only the fourth or fifth most talented starting five in the country.
Listen to them talk, it's like every season he's just ripping apart college basketball with you, me, and three homeless guys he found outside the arena.
What do they say about self? Wins the conference every year? Izzo gets every player to a f4 by senior year, cal has gone to 4 of the last 5 f4s...
So what is the line they use for Bo? The pundits brag how he "never finishes lower than 4th in the conference". Uh, okay.
Well, that's great and all, and he does tend to have under talented rosters, but this notion that he's as good, much less or out the league of Cal, who was better than Bo with less talent at Umass, and who has winning records against all the other coaching legends and a split record with K while at UK... Just asinine
