Coaching Tree Article

[Bumped.  Haven't looked at the O'Neil article yet, but the YABB post is full of stupendous blogginess. -KJ]

I found this Dana O'Neil article via the Yet Another Basketball Blog. Both the article and blog post are on coaching trees. We all know that the Heathcote/Izzo tree is pretty impressive but I was unaware that Tom Crean has had four assistants that have gone on to get head coaching gigs. At this rate of growth by the time both Crean and Izzo retire it may be as impressive as the Pitino tree, which is very long.  Also, congratulations to Stan Heath - his USF Bulls beat Georgetown at home Wednesday night. He has USF at .500 in Big East play.

This is a FanPost, written by a member of the TOC community. It does not represent the official positions of The Only Colors, Inc.--largely because we have no official positions.

I think Izzo should call Stan Heath

The USF turnaround has come, in part, from cutting their turnover rate almost in half (see this article). It can be done!

Pitino's coaching tree is crazy

Includes Sean Miller—4 levels down.

That makes Boeheim's even crazier

Check out this photo of the 1976-77 team on Syracuse’s site (there’s the youthful Pitino, standing far left).
