Where to even start with this one...let's see...
Kevin Ollie has any many titles as JB. JB has been in charge of his roster for 40+ years now, so he should probably do something about it. Yes, of course I think JB is the better coach, but your argument is flawed.
Ollie basically lucked into his.
David Padgett inherited a "loaded" roster. Didn't realize Deng Adel is Anthony Davis level. Come on. A solid roster, yes. A loaded roster, not even close.
Louisville was expected to be Top 10 before Pitino was canned. They returned 6 of their top 8 scorers.
The ACC is actually very down this year. We have 7 conference wins, 2 of which are against a winless Pitt team, 1 against WF, 1 against BC, wich gives us 3 decent wins (UM, VT, & Louisville). Our in conference schedule was actually very fogiving this year, yet we dropped games to BC, WF, GT and an ND team that hardly had a pulset at the time without Colson & Farrell.
Down from being the best? Still elite. 4 of the Top 8 teams in RPI and 9 of the Top 50
I definitely did not expect a whole lot from this year's team, but have not exceeded expectations. I think it's fair to say, we've met them, at best. Next year should be significantly better assuming OB is back, and I don't really see where he's going just yet. Let's hope things get better real fast, or else we may be staring mediocrity or worse in the face for even longer.
