To be fair, John Brannen did a bit more than getting lucky and facing lower seeds in the HL tourney. Coming in their first year of eligibility for post season, and how young the roster is, he did a pretty **** good job.
That said, it's one year. After one year everyone would have anointed Jim O'Brien for the national collegiate hall of fame and had him the head coach at Kentucky or Kansas in a couple years.
