Kansas lost in the 2nd round this year to a 10 seed and many mock drafts are predicting two Kansas players to go 1/2. I guess Bill Self isn't an average coach.

Keep in mind that Kansas played without Embiid in the tourney. So Self had one future pro at his disposal.
Based on the results of all the coaching searches this spring, it seems to me that Smart, White, Miller, and Marshall were never really at play in the market. Makes me feel much better about Manning as the hire.
And Howland still can't sniff a job.
Donnie Tyndall getting 6 years, 1.6 million per.

It wasn't just that Cleveland State destroyed us - it was that they were a hugely popular upset pick on top of that.
Fans were in denial, but we were an incredibly talented, horribly flawed team that had early-exit written all over it. That's what hurt so much about that game. Wake fans are looking at our players and remembering moments like the Maryland dunk on Neal and we just couldn't believe we were a fraud.
But we were.
We've bounced between a coach who could put talent on the floor with no idea what to do with it and a coach that thought talent wasn't in the top 5 most important things for a college basketball player to have. Both failed in their own painful, awful ways.
Hopefully Manning is a combination of recruiting success and coaching chops. This year he's going to be a twisted Devin ankle away from disaster every game, so it's going to take some luck as well as good coaching to be relevant. If everyone stays healthy, we should be an NIT team.

61-31, two trips to NCAA, ranked No. 1 for only second time in program history VS. 51-76, 2 road wins, finished seasons 12th, T-12, T-9, T-13.
I would say one is very much more painful than the other.

What's worse? Getting your hopes up only to see your team predictably crash and burn - never winning an ACC tournament first round game, losing to Cleveland State when you had Final Four talent, getting laughed off the court by Kentucky - or being completely irrelevant? Not to mention the pain was coming after Aminu and Ish's exits no matter who was coaching. I'd take Dino over [Redacted] any day, but only to the extent that I'd also take eating dirt over eating shit if I'm forced to choose.

I think you answered your own question. The Dino vs. [name redacted] years is no comparison. I'm not arguing that Dino should still be our coach, or should have ever been our coach, but the seasons under Dino were way better than eating dirt.
