What is an acceptable expectation for a Gopher Men’s Basketball Head Coach?

[Otis]

Note: not Coyle’s expectations but this boards!

If we could make the NCAA’s 2 out of every 5 years, I think that would be a reasonable expectation. This would require finishing in the top half of the conference at the same rate. These last 4 years have made for rose colored glass viewing on the Pitino and Tubby years! (Which is really saying something!)

I kind of think the Dutcher and Clem level is going to be legendary and unreachable unless some massive NIL gets funneled into the program no matter who the coach is. Especially when HS top recruits are going to make millions in NIL before ever touching an NCAA court!

What would you be happy with?

I’d say 2 out of 4 tournaments. But 5 as you said is good too.

That shouldn’t be that hard.

First thing we have to do tho under the next coach. Schedule a smart non con. Enough of this playing 11 non con games where maybe 1 game actually helps the resume from a quality win/loss stand point.

Match the success of Iowa State and wisconsin. If past success isn't an option to match, then current and going forward. There's zero excuse that both those programs should be so far ahead of us. They have no built in advantages that we don't.

Go Gophers!!

PJ Fleck level of success. Not great, but decent.

A coach who knows precisely what his vision is for success, has executed this vision at a lower level with success, knows exactly what type of personnel is needed to execute the vision, and gets those players to come to play for him.

In a 10 year stretch I'd say:

9/10 make B1G tournament
5/10 make NCAA tournament
2/10 miss but on the bubble

Win say 4 ncaa tournament games, make 1-2 finals runs in conf tournament.

Schedule better home and home games. Play in respectable MTE in say 6 of 10 years.

That essentially means 7 of 10 years we are respectable. Allows 3 years in there where maybe injuries hit, transfers out hurt, guys don't pan out etc.
