I see quite a few people putting him high on coaching lists. I'm just curious why some of you guys on here think so highly of him. Like I said, my knowledge is limited and he may be the greatest coach in basketball. I just don't know that much about him and took a look at his record which is very good but didn't necessarily scream great.
You're not wrong. I don't understand it myself. His last two years at Tech was mediocre & his first year at Texas he inherited 3 all big 12 & 1 all A10 player. That's why they were so highly regarded that preseason & he went 22-12. Had Jans had that type of roster at State this year man oh man.
