You skewed the timeline to support your narrative.

No I didn't. I clearly stated why the timeline was what it was (twice, now), and then also admitted that it omitted Pearl's F4 (again, twice).

Reading really is fundamental. Sorry you struggle with comprehension. Now trying to flip that problem on me is an obvious deflection.

But since you want to be all-inclusive, let's compare their careers since Oats began his head coaching career in 2015-16...

Wins
Oats- 234, Pearl- 218

Regular Season Titles...
Oats- 4, Pearl- 2

Conference Tourney Titles...
Oats- 5, Pearl- 2

NCAAT Appearances...
Oats- 7, Pearl- 5

NCAAT Wins...
Oats- 10, Pearl- 7

S16s...
Oats- 3, Pearl- 1

E8s...
Oats- 1, Pearl- 1

F4s...
Oats- 1, Pearl- 1

In the 10 years since Nate Oata became a head coach, Pearl isn't better than him in any one of those categories.

And get this...it will probably blow your Pearl-loving mind...but Oats has a career winning record over Pearl (6-5).

So, please, do go on and tell me how I've skewed these stats to fit my narrative (which doesn't exist, btw). I can't stand either one of them, so I really have no stake in the matter. Or maybe just take your L and move along.
