  Pitino yes, Cal, I have my doubts about his actual coaching ability.

  This is my feeling as well.
  
  Pitino doesn't get mentioned sometimes because of the style his teams play nowadays. It's not good basketball.

  It's annoying to play against too. Just not fun to basically get mugged while playing

  Good look at in-game/end of game numbers breakdown of teams (coaches) by KenPom.
  
  I never know what to TRULY make of these types of things, but I do know I trust the formulas KenPom uses more than anyone. This article is pretty good and breaks down the numbers of wins when winning at _____. Including halftime (adjustments), etc.
  
  I noticed, and why I am posting here, that New Mexico is on there near the top on almost all of the graphs. Since we were just talking about Alford...maybe he is better than we give him credit for. He did do a remarkable job at UNM, all things considered, and has had a quick turnaround at UCLA. Maybe we expected to much at Iowa, no one can win there it seems like, and he had them as a top 3 seed in the NCAAs at one point...

  This season was Alford's first sweet 16 appearance in 15 years, I believe. He did it a combined 0 times at Iowa and New Mexico.
