I'm a Mike Anderson fan, don't think he should have gotten fired at Arkansas.
retrospectively, according to the NCAA, yes
he did walk off the court having won more games than he lost in every season as a head coach
by the way, why start K's streak after 1994-95? K went 9-3 that year. Pretty solid!
You all can shit on Mike Anderson if you want to, but St. John’s has a better coach than we do.
Yeah. His career record is 369–200 (.649). By comparison, Prosser was 126–68 (.649) at Wake and 291–146 (.666) overall.
...and Anderson’s gotten that .649 winning record at three schools with many different recruiting classes. SJU probably isn’t going to win a Natty with Anderson, but they will be better.

This is why raw numbers, without context don't mean much. Skip was a HC for fourteen years. He had two bad at Wake (that were turned around after his death). In his other twelve years as a HC, his teams came in 5th once, 3rd four times, 2nd three times and 1st four times.
Anderson league record is - 10th -once; 9th twice; 6th/7th/8th once each; 5th three times; 4th twice; 3rd once; 2nd three times and 1st once.
In his fifteen years as a HC Anderson has come in 5th or worse 9 times. Ship came in 5th or worse 3 times out of fourteen. Skip was 11/14 Top 3 vs. Anderson was 5/15.
What am I thinking? Putting numbers in context is wrong. I should know this by now.
I'm not saying Anderson is a bad coach. His record is mediocre.
