    I think we underestimate how difficult it is to turn around a program and make the NCAA. Bruce Pearl (absolutely great coach), Frank Martin, and Ben howland were all proven HCs when they took over bad sec programs. It took Pearl and howland 4 years to make the NCAA, and it took Martin 5 years to make it. Now Martin and Pearl did make it to the final 4 in year 5, so that's certainly better than anything howland has done here. Martin hasn't been back to the tourney again though 3 years. Pearl is looking like he'll miss it this year. Tourney year-in, year-out at untraditional sec programs is really tough
