Gardner (winner) set a standard
Winter (winner) Maintained it
Fitzsimmons (Winner) - Maintained it
Hartman (winner who stayed too long) - left program worse than he got it. *** was near elite until the garbage stretch at the end, which went on two seasons to long
Kruger (winner) - left program better than he got it. Moved back toward the initial standard
Altman (loser at the time, winner in training) unable to maintain it, left it worse than he found it
Asbury (winner turned loser) - cratered it
Wooly (SLTH) - left it better than he found it. I got nothing but love for wooly
Huggins (winner) a Drasitcally improves the program instantly I’m so many ways. Would have won multiple B12 titles and taken us to the final four had he stayed. Firmly believe this
Martin (puncher/winner combo w/ high floor) maintained what Huggins began well. He did start to falter minimally at the end
Weber (low floor puncher) initially maintained/raised it, cratered it, got another chance, Rekindled it again, then came uber crater 2.0
It’s rare for high-major coaches to survive back-to-back losing seasons at programs (outside of initial rebuilding phase) who give a damn. oscar has the rare opportunity to survive both a 3 season streak and then a two season streak.
