Definitely not writing them off - just providing what are clearly some extenuating circumstances for those results. 
While the Richmond upset was infamous for being the first 15/2 upset, it doesn't even rank in the Top-5 now for worst all-time. 
Sparty just easily took over the #1 spot on that list, and will likely hold it forever - until a #1 seed goes down.  
(and nobody with half a brain is now claiming that Izzo can't coach in March, because of that result.)

Duke has won 2 NC's since 2010.   K is widely considered the best college coach of our time, possibly all-time. 
Yet, K lost to Lehigh 15/2 in 2012, and to Mercer 14/3 in 2014.   
Occasional tournament upsets - it's an occupational hazard of being a good coach at a good program.
The more of those games you're in, the greater the odds that you'll drop one here and there.

PS - I will freely admit now, that JB was NOT a very good in-game coach back in the '80's, and early 90's.  
That (thankfully) is no longer the case.
