I think the SEC as a whole got apathetic about basketball in the last 30 years combined.
SEC has the "nice places to live and play" down pat, but its not like climate and warm weather is everything since basketball is played inside.
Clearly AU currently has the right guy. With the exception of Pearl, Calapari and Donnavan the SEC has literally ZERO of those attributes you describe. I think Tyndall could be fine long term at UT, but we will see if he survives NCAA and can prove he can recruit.
The perception is the elite, Team USA Olympic coaches all are in the ACC, Big 10, Big 12 and ex Big East schools. If it isn't UK, the blue chippers nationwide and in the South are heading to the blue bloods.

With the exception of KY, Duke and NC, 18 year olds do not care about what a program did 50 years ago. They want a great coach they can relate to and get them to the Pros, and a nice place to live and play

On a side note, I think CDT did well in his first year, especially considering how the transition went down from CCM to CDT. My gut says he won't be punished by the NCAA.

And that is why the SEC has suffered in Basketball the last decade.
