Mainstay in the NIT is inaccurate and you know it. But hey, I get that a fan of a team with a mediocre basketball program would want to throw darts at one of the big 2.
UK is probably going to take your ire next.

Mainstay in the NIT? I want what you are smoking. Oh wait, that was supposed to be a compliment. I forgot how the piggies would love to be NIT mainstays. Sorry but we have been in the NCAA tourney 13 out of the last 15 years.
The 2 years we went to the NIT we lost our top 7 players, 6 of them were underclassmen, and none was a one and done. We also went 24-12 and 25-11 those 2 years overall and 8-8 and 9-7 in conf.
Since Billy D's first 2 seasons at UF he has never had a losing record in the SEC. Arkansas has had 10. That is 10 losing seasons in the last 15 years. Let that sink in.
Now back to tennis. Men's tennis and women's hoops have long been UF's achilles heel. Foley has done everything in his power to get them up to the level of the other sports and it has been difficult to say the least. I thought Jackson was making good progress and him leaving without another gig was surprising, but you never know what happens in situations like this. Like Ian Duvenage before him, he seemed to have us in the top 10 but couldn't get us any better than 9th save for one year. When there are other schools in the conference at the very top, we expect to be there too. Adding more pressure is the dominance of the women's tennis team.
So I do not think this is a bad hire at all for Arkansas, but it's not necessarily a home run either. I will give it a 7 out of 10.
Your knowledge of Gator hoops merits a .5/10.
