Name that coach

[Blueaz]

1. .712% winning percentage in conference games...
has made at least the elite eight in 44.4% of his coaching seasons
2. .804% winning percentage in conference games...
has made at least the elite eight in 43.5% of his coaching seasons
3. .713% winning percentage in conference games...
has made at least the elite eight in 40% of his coaching seasons
4. .683% winning percentage in conference games...
has made at least the elite eight in 40.7% of his coaching seasons

and who is labeled by many as the poor X and O coach?

I agree with your point, but I'd go the opposite way and go OOC instead of in conference since Cal is known to schedule hard OOC and the alleged fans who disagree with you will have a bizarre glee in telling you that his wins in the SEC mean nothing because it's just an okay conference.

All of my MEMPHIS buds used to tell me back in the mid 2000's how cal would own the sec just like the CUSA. I used to debate that with them constantly. Cal has certainly not owned the sec while at UK like he did in the CUSA, and when I ask them about it now? The memphis response? "His teams were better at memphis during his 4 year run".

Honest to God that's how stupid some of these people are.

You can't convince the sec bashers that we have a good league. I have completely stopped trying.

Is that on or off topic? Anyway.

Yeah I mean I believe they're averaging like what, 4 tourney teams a season since he's been here? That's nothing amazing, but it's not horrible. And if you look at the SEC's head to head record with other power five conferences, it's perfectly respectable.

Well darn it, I want to know the answer.

My guess is that the 4 coaches are Calipari, K, Pitino, and Roy/Self/Donovan (I can't decide who the 4th one would be).

Not sure how all those coaches keep making the NCAA tournament by winning less than 1% of their conference games.

I did not use OOC because that would give Cal away immediately, and take a little thought out of the process...he is FAR ahead of the other coaches in overall and OOC

Are these career numbers or only a select year range?

Ok thanks

I'm going with K then Self then ? then ?. From computing the numbers from wiki Cal is at 76.1% and Roy has 74.9% conference record.

In D1? No way. Last 6 years, maybe, though that's still damn impressive.

Wow, great as that is, thought it would be even higher. Those first couple years at UMASS before the huge five year run really hurt him. Of course, UMASS hadn't been to a tourney since '62 and had been coming off a bunch of losing seasons, so..
