Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 2822484, member: 6357"] I agree. I don’t look as closely at the AP and Coaches poll rankings as much as I used to. I mostly follow KenPom’s efficiency metrics and the BPI. Those are much better indicators of how a team is performing. And we’re about 18 in KenPom even though we still have a lot to improve upon. So I feel positive about the trajectory of where we’re going. That said, I’m not surprised to see the discrepancy between AP and Coaches polls. Veteran coaches know how great JB is, but I don’t think the younger ones respect him as much. Younger guys like Buzz, who have coached against him in conference, love JB. but I get the sense that some of these up-and-comers don’t have the respect for him that old timers like Huggins or Jay Wright have.
