Big East Coaches Records and History - Compilation

[billyjack]

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.
