they make it seem like he's championship caliber year in and year out and he's not. he's not a tier one coach. they wanna make it seem like Izzo is Coach Ks last competition and he's not. Izzo is tier 2.

:dwillhuh: So what is your criteria for tier 1 then?

Izzo has a championship, 9 Elite Eights and 7 Final Fours. there arent too many coaches that can put their team in serious contention year in and year out.

*tier one coaches don't have that many first weekend exits do they?

I think he has to win another one to be tier one. tier one is an elite class. He's not there, yet. When have you known an elite coach with a team that was heralded as a FF lock (at least) lose their opening game?
