The Holy Land of Hoops

I had compiled this list with records a while back, and never got around to posting it. With no Big East games today I decided to post it. Also, it can take my mind off Kris Dunn.

I had put it together initially to see how our coaches typically progress and build their programs up. For example, Purnell typically takes 3 to 4 years to have success.

Do coaches make steady progress over years or do they make an immediate impact...?
I have other coaches compiled too, but will post them later at some point.
Also I tried to mark down what jobs they each held prior to being hired (like, Cooley was an assistant under Skinner at BC and URI before getting the Fairfield job).
Also, I was going to mark down what the schools' records were in the 5 to 10 years prior to the coach getting hired... but I kind of ran out of time or energy.

I think Lavin should get an asterisk for 2012, he only coached 4 games b/c of prostate cancer recovery.

Yeah, thanks, great point. I added the note for 2012.

Too bad he won't be remembered for that stretch in bold anymore. During those years OP just couldn't when the big games, since then he simply can't win.
