So he has one more FF than all our past coaches combined?
Sounds like our best ever to me.[/Qdance.UOTE]
Don't slight Ray Mears so fast. You can't use FF appearances as a measuring stick. Most of the years he coached, only 16 teams were invited to the dance and you had to be the champion of your conference. Who knows what his tournament record would have been had it been a 64 team field. He also had to deal with the KY teams which were the best payed teams of the era, just with no rules enforcement by the NCAA.
I love Rick barnes, don't get me wrong. It's just nearly impossible to compare coaches of different eras by using tournament results as the standard.
