How is it that Matta doesn't compare to Izzo? I'm not doing the research for you this time. Show me a side by side comparison that supports your position. Otherwise, shut the fuck up.... or at least make good on your ... what...threat? Promise? to take you tired schtick to some other board.
I was bored, so I did Holydouchebag10's homework for him, and this is how it breaks down:
Tom Izzo
1 NCAA Championship
2 Championship appearances
6 Final Fours
7 Elite Eights
12 Sweet Sixteens
17 NCAA Tournament appearances
7 B1G Championships
4 B1G Tourney Championships
1 National Coach of the Year
3 B1G Coach of the Year
14 20+ win seasons
3 30+ win seasons
467-186 (.715) in 19 years of coaching
Not too shabby.
And for comparison:
Thad Matta
1 NIT Championship
1 NCAA Championship appearance
2 Final Fours
4 Elite Eights
6 Sweet Sixteens
12 NCAA Tournament appearances
5 B1G Championships
4 B1G Tourney Championshps
2 A10 Championshps
2 A10 Tourney Championships
1 Horizon Championships
1 Horizon Tourney Champinships
1 Horizon League Coach of the Year
1 A10 Coach of the Year
2 B1G Coach of the Year
14 20+ win seasons
3 30+ win seasons
377-114 (.768) in 14 years of coaching
You can take any 10 or 14 year period of Izzo's career, and he has not had as much consistent success as Matta. Very few coaches have, I would think. Keep in mind Matta's first season at OSU the team was ineligible for the postseason and had gone 20-12. Minus 1 NCOY award and a NC, Matta's resume is as easily impressive as Izzo's. In 5 more years, there is a good chance it will look as good or better. There is no one better to replace Matta with right now, maybe ever. To believe otherwise simply makes you a fool. But go ahead and keep on beating that drum douchbag. I find people that insist on making themselves look like morons mildly amusing.
