I have said many times that OP rebuilt the program from almost nothing, and for that I will be forever grateful. But after he rebuilt the program he lost to Detroit at home in the NIT, lost to Tennessee Tech at home in the NIT, lost as a #4 seed in the NCAA, never won an NCAA game, and left the cupboard bare (after Ramod, KW, and Finn) with players whom I don't need to name again. I would give him a B. They both have their positives and negatives. OP rebuilt the program and went to five post-seasons in nine years, but didn't do too well once he got there. BG has issues winning in the A-10, but has gone to four post-seasons in seven years with a win in the NCAA (the first since 1990) and an NIT Championship. I give the edge to BG (B+ to B) because we are in a better position right now than we were when OP left.
