[QUOTE="ThePunish-EER, post: 129245055, member: 1428395"] [b]Re: Ding Ding Exactly![/b] Great analysis and breakdown Keaton. The WVU winning percentage is pretty much the same. To me, it's a matter of opinion, I would take Beilein over Huggins. Both are great coaches. I never said Huggins wasn't as the OP stated. One thing to consider with your numbers, Beilein took over a dreadful program when Catlett left. Combined with the Dakitch drama and allegations, the basketball program was in shambles. Huggins inherited a solid program from Beilein coming off an elite 8, 2 sweet 16's, and an NIT championship. He had a solid nucleus with Butler and others to add his own guys to like Ebanks and Jones for that final four run. Beilein rebuilt the program in a matter of 4 years. Secondly, it has nothing to do with "poor little ole WVU". As you know, I'm against that inferiority complex most WVians have here. It's just harder to recruit inner city NBA type talented players here. It always has been. It's easier to recruit lesser known players like Beilein got here. His system isn't a popular system utilized in most basketball programs at this level. My point is, in my opinion, he was a better fit for that reason. He was consistent here. [/QUOTE]
