You claim to not be bashing JB and discussing facts.  But let's look at the following quotes from you:
 
"problem may well be that Jimmy is simply a below average tournament coach.  No question we under-achieve in the tourney compared to our regular season accomplishments."
"Maybe Jimmy's going by his book simply makes us relatively easy to prepare for in a tournament setting."
"I also mentioned that Jimmy should have a sort of a sixth sense about when to depart from them"
"Fact is, taking a thirty plus year body of work, there can really be no argument that Jimmy's teams have underperformed in the NCAAs."
 
You can't seriously think your above quotes make JB look good.  And they are not facts.  You think by repeating something enough it becomes accepted.  It is not a fact that there is no argument against the statement that JBs teams have underperformed.  I gave you an example of a study that found JB was outperforming his seed in the NCAA.  So now you change the criteria.
 
Most people here do not consider SU elite yet.  But most think it is going in the right direction.  One piece of that are great regular seasons.  It takes a special type of fan to then try and use the spike in regular season success and craft an argument that JB is now underperforming. 
 
 You can throw out your list of teams that made the elite eight in the last ten years now.
