P5 coach in America?
I checked the SEC and B12, I don't have the time or inclination to do the other three P5s. Out of those 24 schools only Tenn, Ole Miss and WV have a single player in the NBA from the previous three draft classes. So your suggestion that he is is good at putting players in the NBA would appear to be another in your long list of CM fairy tales. He is as mediocre in this as everything else in his tenure here.
TCU has as many NBA players as we do over that time and Miss St have more.
My source showed four from his time at Cal and two from Tenn. That is eight in his ten year P5 career. I suspect that is less than spectacular for P5 programs.
