Okay so it's a Sunday and I have a lot of time on my hands.

Coach X has a 68% winning percentage playing in the top conference in the country. He has accumulated 240 wins vs. 111 losses. That's obviously a yearly average of 24-11.1.

In those ten years, he has been to seven NCAA tournaments. That's somewhat misleading though because one of the tournaments was canceled due to a virus. The other tournament the team was on self-imposed probation.

So in eight eligible years, his teams have made the tournament seven times. They have gone to two Final Fours, one  Sweet 16, and one Elite 8. So when he gets to the tournament, so in 57% of his tournament appearances, he gets to the second weekend. Nearly 30 percent of the time he makes it to the Final Four.

I would guess in a blind taste test that coach would certainly be looked at as an elite coach, and one who certainly would be considered a hall of fame worth coach.

In the years since probation, his teams have slipped a bit. Yet he still navigated those teams in the last five years to one Sweet 16, and one Final Four.
