Perhaps you didn't read any of the preceding posts. Perhaps he changed head coaching jobs to face better competition. In basketball AAC>SEC.

Of course you must be joking. The AAC loses Louisville this year. You have UConn. UConn peaked at the perfect time. UConn would have dropped 5-6 games in the SEC over the season. SEC put two of three teams in the final four. AAC = not better...

You're just being silly. Stop it.

Facts can be painful.. I started this thread for discussion as to why a coach would give up a major conference job like Missouri for a small school with an auditorium that seats 8355 fans. Do you believe he got a pay raise? Once again, some of you played the "our conference is better than your conference" card. It is not about conference power... it's simply the fact that he split for a smaller university. If you were the CEO of Walmart, would you leave for, say, Walgreens? It seems like that no matter what discussion we enter into on this board, it somehow mutates into a conference fight. It is getting old and I think some of the Mods might agree.

Hate to say it but in the AAC's current configuration they are stronger than the SEC. I mean you can't seriously expect Temple and USF to be down forever. Between Uconn, Cincinnati, Memphis, SMU, Tulsa, Temple, and Houston you have a lot of storied programs.

No one is saying that coaching at Missouri was not a better job. But the AAC is going to be better than the Kentucky conference most years....There are only at best five teams in the SEC that even care about basketball. Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee, Missouri, and Vanderbilt.

Arkansas cares. When Nolan Richardson was on the sidelines they were pretty good.

Arkansas has an on-again, off-again relationship with MBB. Sometimes they care, sometimes they don't.

Arkansas avg almost 14k for basketball which would put them in the top 25 in the nation. That qualifies as caring. The problem is they've had subpar coaches since Richardson.

In basketball right?

Yep. 7 of 11 American coaches have won NCAA tournament games. Two won titles. A third made a Final Four without any NBA draft picks on the roster. It's a serious basketball league with great TV exposure.
