What "truly great coach" won to a level you expect, which apparently is what, I guess, not many double digit losses, a final four, title game (overtime away from a championship), followed by an elite 8, and winning seasons at nothing programs and football oriented states and universities? Who are these coaches? Because the ones I'm looking at that have accomplished that are coaches at basketball programs, or programs geared toward both and nationally recognized. There is not one single serious journalist or basketball mind that does this for a living that would say what Beard has done is a fluke. None. Because it's not.
BCG never, ever, reached close to the level of success that Beard did. You seem to be talking all over the place and not making any sense at all. Beard has not just been at football school programs, he's been at fairly bad football school programs. TT isn't jut awful but they're decently on the wrong side of average and a football school. Ole Miss is literally one of the worst basketball programs in the entire country in the power 5. He's beating Kentucky and has them already, very quickly, in the sweet 16.
You keep saying Fluke about a national title game run and expect that to be some sort of statistic? I don't understand what you're saying? Why are you asking me for analytics to back my claim when you have literally argued that the statistics that say he's a great coach aren't valid because YOU say it's not anything more than luck. I guess his outstanding results at ULAR are luck too? What about the season he was a few bounces from the final four again at a football program? Fluke? Taking a legitimate top 5 worst power 5 program in Ole Miss to the sweet 16 nearly immediately and already in conversations about taking Ole Miss to a final four? Everyone is just what? nuts? Because you saying one of those seasons is a fluke is somehow statistics and "analytics".
No offense but this is just stupid and I'm not gonna continue arguing someone who's leaving out all context, accomplishments, current success, comparative history, and going against the opinion of basketball minds far greater than yourself because you can't evaluate and don't want to believe it.
Beard is a great program away from being elevated to a level where his talent meets the opportunity. You better hope Kansas doesn't make the move because I can tell you 100% it's who their fans want. They're nuts too, right? Beard has done as good as any great coach would do. By great I mean nearly guaranteed to be a title coach in the next few decades and a real shot at multiple titles in that timeframe. If you can't see that then you can't evaluate, regardless of what you think you're seeing.
Use google if you have to.
