You also say "of course" after Bo Ryan, and while he's done well for sure, he sort of seems to have plateaued. He has four Sweet Sixteen finishes and an Elite Eight finish, as well as three Big Ten titles. Two of those Big Ten titles were in his first two years though, and we all know big accomplishments aren't as impressive when you do them with the previous coach's players. That Elite Eight was eight years ago now, and it just kind of seems like Bo Ryan is good for a given level of success, a Sweet Sixteen, and not much more than that, consistently good, but not great. He also inherited a program that made the tournament the previous three years to his arrival, and only two seasons removed from a Final Four, much better than what Monson and Tubby found when they got here.

Bo has never finished below 4th in the Big Ten in 11(?) seasons. Tubby has never finished above 6th. Let's see how that plays out this year.
