I hope he stays around to get another 50.
Gotta stay positive. Of the others on that list, those that moved-on after reaching their first NIT:
- Coach K gave Army two more full seasons before heading to Duke;
- John Calipari stayed at UMass six more seasons (the last 5 of which were NCAA tourney teams) before moving on to Memphis, where he posted NIT or NCAA tourney teams for each of 9 seasons before heading to Kentucky;
- Jay Wright stayed at Hofstra two more full seasons (making NCAA tourney both of those) before leaving for 'Nova.
Only Bill Self immediately jumped Oral Roberts to cross-town Tulsa, where he waited three full seasons posting NCAA tourney teams, both the final two, before moving on to Illinois.
Keep your fingers crossed that CBR shows similar patience & commitment. It's worked out well for these fellows.
