Larranaga was under .500 in his 8th, 9th and 10th years at Miami. (2018-21)

Never finished above 10th in the ACC for 3 straight years. That's the 3 straight years prior to these vaunted Elite 8's you reference. Where was your Larranaga love then? He did win the ACC Tournament back in his 2nd year at Miami. Then in his 3rd year, he was 17-16; 7-11 ACC and Miami didn't play in a postseason tournament. Sound familiar? He's a great coach, but if you're going to pick a coach with decades of HC experience who is currently having a great year and contrast with a coach with decades of HC experience who's currently having a not great year, the substance of your argument loses a bit of validity. ** Edited by hokieZ71 at 3/25/2023, 11:00:14 PM

I think my post was aimed more at Young detractors than you or your post.
