This is probably his best season ever, sure, but he has a long track record of success. He's not a household name or among the legendary or elite coaches, but he was pretty successful in an unbelievably difficult Big East. He also waxed the floor with Missouri in the first round of the 2011 NCAA Tournament, so I give him credit for that. Cincy teams are tough and play terrific defense.

I could see an argument about him maybe not having the highest "ceiling," but I think at a place like Mizzou or Illinois, he would have the resources to take it to the next level. Not that Cincy doesn't have those resources, but the AAC really makes it tough.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

I see only a few of those as realistic possibilities - mizzoudiehard MU - 2/18 21:49:26

Dayton is not a better job than Mizzou - wu-tangtiger MU - 2/18 21:51:25

Agreed, it's not even close. (nm) - zounami MU - 2/18 22:17:31

Over last ten years: - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 22:03:56

He said "job". Obviously, Dayton has had consistent success - zounami MU - 2/18 22:20:12

All Time wins: MU 1595 (38th) Dayton 1586 (42nd) - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 22:29:21

Dayton's success isn't just under Miller. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 22:46:47

You're better than this sort of silly flaming, TJ - AndyTiger MU

Not flaming at all. I think MU is better but Dayton is - tjwheeler UI - 2/19 11:09:31

Regarding Missouri and Illinois, you should read this SI... - zounami MU - 2/18 22:53:02

I've read it and didn't draw that conclusion. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 22:56:31

Of course you didn't, with your orange-tinted glasses. (nm) - zounami MU - 2/18 23:02:05

Current results from last decade is a decent metric(nm) - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 22:29:54

Not really, but even if you want to look at 2008-2017... - zounami MU - 2/18 22:32:32

They're ranked in the Top 30 for attendance every year since - mizzoudiehard MU - 2/18 22:10:39

Will have to agree to disagree on that. - mizzoudiehard MU - 2/18 22:03:48

Why doesn't the Big East get as much TV coverage as the - zounami MU - 2/18 22:05:43

True, that's been a legitimate criticism - mizzoudiehard MU - 2/18 22:13:37

If it's such a great league, then why is it's coverage so - zounami MU - 2/18 22:16:30

I hear you on that - mizzoudiehard MU - 2/18 22:20:06

What do you mean "above"? As a program, MU is 4th... - zounami MU - 2/18 21:59:34

Depends on what metrics for evaluating programs* - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 22:06:43

Well, if you base it on number of NCAA tournament - zounami MU - 2/18 22:13:25

That's all time? - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 22:22:45

Yes, all-time. Historically, Missouri is a top 35 *program* - zounami MU - 2/18 22:27:30

Fewer games against Top 25 or Top 50 teams. - tjwheeler UI - 2/18 20:55:25
