I both do not like oscar, and think oscar is not a good high major D1 coach.  So, it's difficult for me to identify other high major D1 coaches that I would NOT trade oscar for....because it's rare for me to both not like them AND think that they are not good high major D1 coaches.

There are lots and lots of mediocre coaches out there.

oscar has 12 postseasons, 10 NCAAs, and 3 Sweet Sixteens in 17 years of being a head coach; there are a lot of P5 coaches out there that haven't come close to that.

He just also has plenty of unlikable traits that hurt him.

In his last 14 seasons as a head coach he's been to 10 ncaa tournaments, won 5 conference championships and played for a national championship.

oscar's peers are the other big 12 coaches. He's clearly worse than Kruger, Self, Tubby, and Huggins (based on things like conference titles and NCAA performance). Drew has been about equal over the last ten years. Trent Johnson has the same number of conference titles and more NCAA tournament wins over the last ten years. ISU's guy is an unknown, and I guess Smart kind of is too, so you're left with one peer that oscar has been "exceedingly successful compared to" over the last ten seasons, and that coach is clearly a better recruiter who has played in more NCAA tourney games since oscar has arrived to KSU.

I mean, obviously, we were all cheering our asses off when he made that championship run with illinois and when he was winning those mvc titles.  Why can't we, as a fanbase, be happy with that? Why should we want him to have a good program here?

Based on what I've seen today I stand by this. Kennedy gave up. Anderson pissed away a 10 point lead vs Tech and had to go to OT. Barnes got worked by TCU in the 2nd half. Jones doesn't let the #1 pick touch the ball in crunch time.
