coaches who have OVER or UNDER achieved since 1985 in the NCAA Tourney...not surprising IZZO #1 in the OVER achievement (best performing)area...and our own J Dixon @ #497(under performing)...based on seeding and ranking going into the tourney...good read.
 
Find that number to be extremely dubious...
I just found the article, and it definitely is. This is going to include coaches with 0 or 1 win. It also would essentially penalize a coach for being a consistent high seed.

Essentially, what this show, is that Dixon, per year wins .5 games less than expected. That is pretty bad, but I think that would be a better representation than this guide, simply because you are lumping in a coach that may have been a 12 seed, won 2 games, and never went back to the tournament and saying he is better than Dixon.

Also, looking at Miller's number is also deceiving, becauseI would guess all of that "playing over seed" number would come from his time at Xavier. This also says that Archie Miller is the 29th best tourney coach in the last 30 years....

Fail.
 
Yeah, but it fits the agenda...


Anything negative pleases this guy. Is he Goth??
