Digger was a better coach than Brey. He also played generally a more national schedule.

Absolutely not and he coached in a diluted college game. Brey doing what he's done with what he's had is more impressive than anything Digger did three decades ago.

Thad Matta has a case. If OSU wins tonight he will tie Fred Taylor with most coaching wins at OSU (297 in 11 seasons). He has never won less than 20 games in all of his years as a coach at Butler, Xavier and OSU. Although he doesn't have any national titles, he has made it to the championship game, another Final Four, an elite 8 and 2 sweet 16s.

One thing about Billy Donovan is that he only seems to be really successful with veteran teams. His young teams seem to struggle some. Not sure what that means, but it's just an observation.
