Kennedy is pretty bad, but 9-14 in this league are either unproven or pure garbage. I would probably agree that he needs to move down a few slots though.

Especially behind Haith. They both took over teams last year that were in pretty similar situations after 2010-11, Haith went 30-5 and Kennedy went 14-18.

I seriously think they mixed up Billy and Andy Kennedy
That would make a lot more sense

It feels good man about their ranking for Coach Martin....we'll need a couple of seasons and recruiting classes - at least - for the major impact of this hire to start showing, but Martin is known for winning quickly....he's mostly had nothing but 20+ win seasons, although I seriously doubt he'll get one this season....

This coach will not be called by his initials.

There is a large misconception about Haith that stems from his less than stellar tenure at Miami, which is an absolute wasteland for college basketball. They even cut the basketball program for 15 years between 1970-1985 because it was so poor and have only made the tourney 6 times ever. There has really never been a coach who was overly successful there. And little do people know, Haith was still a Naismith coach of the year finalist while at Miami in '04, despite Miami being a really tough coaching gig. Plus the fact that he actually won big 12 and national coach of the year in 2012, id say 9th is definitely too low, although I won't go overboard and claim he's top 3 or anything. I think Haith is probably 6th at the moment

Cuonzo should definitely be higher.

lulz. His 9th place rank is summed up in this gif.

I'd put Martin over Stallings. Only because I don't want to be the body in his trunk.

Seat hot yet? If not then when?
AU has been patient in the past, will that trend continue with Barbee?
