Responding to the posts that Anthony Grant is a disaster coach which he is not, he is closer to Archie Miller than
Brian Gregory.
I think Archie is clearly an overall better coach, but not as big of a gap as I would have thought before looking at the statistics.
Two glaring weaknesses from Anthony Grant. (1) Success in A games (top 50 games adjusted for location) has been much weaker than Archie. Part attributable to playing more top 20 teams versus Archie played more 30-50 teams. Part Archie is a better coach. (2) Anthony Grant has a terrible "luck" factor in kenpom and Archie was neutral; but AG was unlucky in NCAA games and Archie was lucky. Again, part attributable to true luck (Archie winning 3 NCAA games decided by 4 points and AG losing 3 games in OT or by 1 point) and part probably attributable to AG being a poor end of game coach, too much of a 9 year pattern to say all unlucky.
Again arguments refuting that AG was a terrible hire.
I have no idea how AG will turn out at Dayton, but statistics would indicate closer to AM than BG. But also would indicate not as good of a coach as AM.
