3 parts to what a head coach does.....recruiting, coaching, and developing. Do you understand the difference, and if so, then specify your terms and then I'll play your game.
Play my game? You are strange.
Cal is one of the best recruiters in the game.
He has taken several teams farther then expected in the Tourney. So I will say above average game coach.
Average developer.
Barnes is an average recruiter.
Great game day coach
And above average developer.
With that being said recruiting is the life blood of a program. It should be weighted , in my opinion, more heavily then the other two.
Top 5 active coaches does not include Barnes. Izzo, Wright, K, Self, and Roy all are leaps and bounds ahead of Barnes. Cal is ahead of Barnes as well. Just look at both coaches results this past decade.
All of that being said, Barnes is doing a hell of a job the past two years. But let’s at least achieve something of note in a post season tourney before rolling this out.
