re: Coach Cal has been named as finalist for Naismith Hall of Fame

Agree. Boeheim has had a lot of early round tournament flops. My favorite Izzo stat is that before last year, every four year player who had ever played for him had been to a Final Four. Unlike Boeheim, Izzo has taken some average teams much deeper than they should have gone in March, most notably their 2005 and 2010 Final Four teams.
