We’re giving him extra credit for choosing to (or being forced to) bounce around from job to job.

The rebuilds are very impressive and he is an elite coach.  He belongs in the top 5.

Sustained success shouldn’t be discounted though.  We don’t know what the other greats who didn’t bounce around would have done if they coached at a handful of schools.  We don’t know what Pitino would have done if he stayed one place forever (L’ville is the best clue).  We could speculate he’d have fists full of championship rings.  We could also speculate that the best to ever do it would be excellent at building teams quickly.

I wouldn’t buy the argument that K, Roy, Wright, Self, Izzo, etc., were/are on cruise control.  They attracted the talent and developed the talent, not the name on the front of the jerseys.  If any of them dropped down to lower tier schools, with the pedigree they all had, they’d be expected to draw talent and win a lot of games.
