Really? You just really have that hard of a time admitting that there have been more successful coaches than Jim Boeheim? That’s all I’m trying to say. I’m not trying to say he’s a bad coach!
 
Fine, the tournament expanded to 64 in ’85. I’m assuming that’s the 84-85 season and not the 85-86 season. Roy Williams, Izzo, Self, Calipari, and Matta all began coaching after ‘85 so their numbers don’t need adjusting. I’m too lazy to do this for anyone other than Boeheim. I don’t need to prove my point that badly. NOTE: I’m not adjusting for differences in conference tournament settings so I’m not factoring in more or less opportunities to win games based on number of rounds in the conference tournament, or single/double byes.  
 
Taking away data from before Boeheim's '84-85 season = 182 less wins, 6 less tournament appearances, 5 less tournament victories. (May be off by a win or two)
 
Boeheim’s percentage of overall wins coming from the tournament increased to 5.24%. He now averages 2.06 wins per tournament appearance and 16.7% of his tournament appearances have reached the Final Four. Compare again to the trimmed list of coaches who started coaching after ’85. 
 
Coach (TW/OW, TW/TA, FF/TA)
Boeheim (5.24%, 2.06, 16.7%)
Calipari (5.95%, 2.46, 23.1%)
Izzo (8.5%, 2.50, 42.9%)
Matta (5.0, 1.78, 11.1%)
Self (5.9%, 2.15, 7.7%0)
Williams (8.6%, 2.76, 33.3%)
 
I’m done posting for the season. This isn’t productive.
 
Good luck. Go Orange. Happy St Patty’s Day
